Cherry Pie Bites Ingredients
- 1 can of cherry pie filling
- 1 package of crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the pie bites.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough from the package and carefully separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling at the wider end of each crescent triangle to ensure each bite is packed with fruity goodness.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end where the filling is, carefully roll each triangle towards the point, sealing the cherry filling inside.
- Season: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the rolled-up dough pieces for added sweetness and flavor.
- Bake: Arrange the rolled crescent bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed.
- Cool and Dust: Allow the cherry pie bites to cool for a few minutes once out of the oven, then lightly dust them with powdered sugar to finish with a sweet, snowy touch before serving.
Notes
- Use chilled crescent roll dough for easier handling and better puff.
- Ensure not to overfill the dough to prevent leaking during baking.
- For a crispier crust, bake on a preheated baking sheet.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
