Ingredients

Scale

Pie Bites

  • 1 can cherry pie filling (21 ounces)
  • 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 to ensure easy removal of the pie bites after baking.
  2. Arrange the Crescent Dough: Unroll each tube of crescent roll dough and place each dough triangle into the muffin tin cups, positioning the widest part at the bottom to form a nest to hold the filling.
  3. Add the Cherry Filling: Spoon 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each dough-lined muffin cup. Some overflow is acceptable and enhances the rustic texture.
  4. Fold and Bake the Dough: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the cherry filling to enclose it as much as possible. Bake the muffin tin in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes or until the pie bites are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While baking, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk to achieve the desired glaze consistency for drizzling.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Remove the cherry pie bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites using a spoon, then serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overfill the dough cups to avoid excessive spilling during baking.
  • You can use different fruit pie fillings if desired for variety.
  • The glaze can be omitted or substituted with a dusting of powdered sugar for a lighter option.
  • These pie bites are best served warm but can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
