Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the rolls from sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a floured surface and carefully separate it into triangular shapes.
- Add Filling: Spoon about one tablespoon of cherry pie filling onto the wide end of each triangle, making sure not to overfill to avoid leaking.
- Roll the Dough: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip, pinching the edges firmly to seal the filling inside and prevent spills during baking.
- Bake: Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Dust and Serve: Mix the powdered sugar with vanilla extract and lightly dust over the warm crescent rolls before serving for added sweetness and aroma.
Notes
- For best results, chill the cherry pie filling slightly before filling to reduce leakage while baking.
- You can use homemade cherry pie filling for a fresh taste or canned filling for convenience.
- Seal the edges well to prevent filling from oozing out during baking.
- These rolls are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently.
