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
- 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 pie bites.
- Arrange the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles. Place each triangle in a muffin cup with the widest part at the bottom, forming a small nest for the filling.
- Add the Cherry Filling: Spoon about 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each dough-lined muffin cup. Some overflow is normal and adds rustic charm.
- Fold and Bake the Dough: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the filling to enclose it as much as possible. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: While baking, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Remove the cherry pie bites from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites with a spoon. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Be careful not to overfill the dough cups to avoid excessive spilling during baking.
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings if desired.
- The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more milk for a thinner drizzle or more sugar for a thicker glaze.
- These can be made ahead and warmed briefly before serving.
- Use nonstick spray or grease the muffin tin well to ensure easy removal of the pie bites.
