Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 can cherry pie filling (21 ounces)

Dough

  • 2 tubes crescent roll dough (8 ounces each)

Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cherry pie bites after baking.
  2. Arrange the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and place each dough triangle into the muffin tin, positioning the widest part at the bottom of each cup to form a nest for the filling.
  3. Add the Cherry Filling: Spoon about 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each dough cup. Some overflow is expected and adds a rustic touch and flavor.
  4. Fold and Bake the Dough: Gently fold the dough corners over the cherry filling to enclose it as much as possible, helping to keep the filling in place and creating a nice shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While the cherry bites bake, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust milk quantity to your preferred drizzle consistency.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Remove the baked cherry pie bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites using a spoon to create a decorative pattern. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with other pie fillings for variety.
  • Ensure the muffin tin is well greased to avoid sticking.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more or less milk.
  • Serve cherry pie bites warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
