Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 1 can of cherry pie filling
Dough
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
Topping
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s properly heated for baking your cherry pie bites.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and carefully separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling at the wider end of each dough triangle, being careful not to overfill to avoid spills during baking.
- Roll Up: Starting at the wider end, carefully roll each triangle toward the pointed end to enclose the filling and form a bite-sized roll.
- Season: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolled-up dough pieces for a sweet, cinnamon-flavored crust.
- Bake: Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls turn a golden brown color.
- Cool and Dust: Remove the pie bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar to add a delicate sweetness and attractive finish before serving.
Notes
- Ensure not to overfill the dough triangles to prevent leaking during baking.
- For extra flavor, you can add a small piece of cream cheese with the cherry filling inside.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- The cinnamon sugar topping can be adjusted according to your taste preferences.
