Easy Cherry Pie Bites are a delightful and simple dessert perfect for any occasion. These little bites are made with crescent roll dough, filled with luscious cherry pie filling, and topped with a sweet glaze. They're a quick and tasty way to enjoy the flavors of cherry pie without all the fuss. Let's go over the ingredients you'll need to make these delicious treats.
Ingredients
- Cherry Pie Filling: 21-ounce can, providing the sweet and tart cherry flavor.
- Crescent Roll Dough: 2 (8-ounce) tubes, creating a flaky and buttery crust.
- Powdered Sugar: 1 cup, for making the glaze.
- Milk: 1-2 tablespoons, to adjust the consistency of the glaze.
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a regular muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the crescent rolls from sticking.
- Step 2:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough pieces and place them into the muffin tins. Ensure the widest part of each dough piece is positioned at the bottom of the tin, creating a base for the filling.
- Step 3:
- Scoop a generous amount of cherry pie filling into each dough piece, aiming for about 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons. It's fine if some filling seeps out during baking, as this adds to the deliciousness.
- Step 4:
- Fold the corners of the dough over the filling as best you can, covering as much as possible. The dough will expand and puff up during baking, creating a lovely crust.
- Step 5:
- Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Step 6:
- While the bites are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve a smooth, drizzling consistency.
- Step 7:
- Once the cherry pie bites are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm bites using a spoon. Serve and enjoy these delightful, easy-to-make treats!
