Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tubes (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 21 oz cherry pie filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsps milk
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F, preparing a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray for optimal release.
- Gently unfurl crescent roll dough, separating into individual sections and pressing each piece into muffin cavities with the wider portion forming the base.
- Spoon cherry pie filling into each dough pocket, distributing evenly to create a balanced filling-to-dough ratio.
- Carefully fold dough edges over the filling, completely enclosing the cherry mixture and creating sealed pockets.
- Transfer muffin tin to preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes until pastry turns a rich golden-brown color.
- While pastries bake, whisk powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl until smooth glaze forms.
- Remove pie bites from oven and allow to cool for several minutes, preventing potential burns.
- Drizzle prepared glaze generously over the warm cherry pastry bites, creating an appealing finish.
Notes
- Select high-quality crescent roll dough for better texture and easier handling during preparation.
- Prevent filling leakage by pinching dough edges firmly and creating small seals around the cherry mixture.
- Experiment with alternative fruit fillings like blueberry, apple, or peach for variety and personal preference.
- Use parchment paper alongside nonstick spray for guaranteed easy removal and minimal cleanup.
