Ingredients
Cherry Pie Bites
- 21 ounce can cherry pie filling
- 2 (8 ounce) tubes crescent roll dough
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a regular muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Line muffin cups with dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and place individual pieces into each muffin cup, ensuring the widest part of the dough lays flat on the bottom to create a cup shape.
- Add cherry pie filling: Generously scoop 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each dough-lined muffin cup, allowing for some filling to possibly seep out during baking.
- Fold dough over filling: Gently pull and fold the three corners of the crescent dough around the filling to partially enclose it, forming a rustic bite.
- Bake the bites: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake the bites for 13 to 14 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the glaze: While the bites bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl until smooth and reaching your desired drizzle consistency.
- Drizzle and serve: Once baked, remove the cherry pie bites from the oven and spoon the glaze over the warm bites. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or apple for variety.
- Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more milk if too thick, or more powdered sugar if too thin.
- Ensure the crescent dough is sealed well around the filling to minimize leakage during baking.
- These bites are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on the cherry filling before baking.
