How to Make Cherry Crescent Rolls:

1. Prepare the Oven and Dough:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
2. Add the Cherry Filling:
   • Spoon a small amount of cherry pie filling onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
   • Gently roll the dough from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the cherry filling. Place each roll on the prepared baking sheet, with the pointed end tucked underneath to prevent unrolling.
3. Bake:
   • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
   • Allow the rolls to cool slightly before applying the glaze.
4. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
5. Glaze the Rolls:
   • Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls using a spoon or a piping bag.
6. Serve:
   • Enjoy the Cherry Crescent Rolls warm from the oven or at room temperature. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat any time of day.

Tips:

• Cherry Filling: If using homemade cherry filling, ensure it’s not too runny to avoid soggy rolls.
• Serving: Serve the rolls warm for the best taste, but they’re still delicious at room temperature.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Different Fillings: Try using other fruit pie fillings, such as apple or blueberry, for a variety of flavors.
• Glaze Alternatives: For a different topping, sprinkle with powdered sugar or use a cream cheese frosting.

Make a Healthier Version:

• Reduced Sugar: Use a low-sugar or sugar-free pie filling and glaze to reduce the overall sugar content.
• Whole Wheat Dough: Opt for whole wheat crescent roll dough for added fiber.
