Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling

Dough

  • 2 (8 oz) tubes crescent roll dough

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual pieces. Press each piece into a muffin tin cup, positioning the widest part at the bottom to create a cup shape.
  3. Add Filling: Spoon roughly 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each dough-lined cup. Some filling may overflow during baking, which is expected.
  4. Fold Dough: Gently fold the dough edges over the cherry filling to cover it partially, enclosing the filling as much as possible without sealing completely.
  5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 14 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Make the Glaze: While the bites bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if necessary to achieve a drizzle-friendly consistency.
  7. Glaze the Bites: Remove the baked cherry pie bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the warm cherry bites using a spoon, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of pie filling if desired, such as blueberry or apple.
  • For a thicker glaze, use less milk; for a thinner glaze, add more.
  • Let the cherry pie bites cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting too much.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
