Ingredients
Scale
For the cherry bites:
- 1 can cherry pie filling (21 oz)
- 2 tubes crescent roll dough (8 oz each)
For the glaze:
- 1 to 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (sifted for a smoother glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: 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 cherry bites after baking.
- Arrange Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and place each triangular piece into a muffin cup, positioning the widest part at the bottom to form a nest that will hold the filling securely.
- Add Cherry Filling: Spoon about 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each dough-lined muffin cup. Some overflow is fine and adds rustic charm.
- Fold and Bake: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the cherry filling to enclose it as much as possible for a neat shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the bites bake, whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and your desired consistency is achieved, adjusting milk amount as needed.
- Glaze and Serve: Remove cherry bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cherry bites using a spoon to create an appealing pattern. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure to grease the muffin tin well to avoid sticking.
- Use sifted confectioners’ sugar for a smoother glaze texture.
- The glaze consistency can be adjusted—use less milk for thicker glaze, more for thinner drizzle.
- Let bites cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting completely.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days for best freshness.
