Indulge in a delightful treat made with cherry pie filling, crescent rolls, and a dash of powdered sugar icing! A simple yet delectable dessert waiting to be devoured.
You know, growing up, my grandma had this vast cherry orchard. Every summer, it was a family tradition to help her with the harvest, which was more like an annual cherry food fight! Post-battle, with our stained clothes and full hearts, weโd gather around grandmaโs kitchen. One particular day, she whipped up these Cherry Pie Bites, a tribute to our cherry escapades. They were an instant hit! Fast, simple, and bursting with memories (and cherry goodness) in every bite. Whenever I make these now, itโs like a trip down memory lane. To the orchard, the food fights, and most importantly, to grandmaโs kitchen.
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Cherry Pie Bites: a game-changer in the dessert world! Why? Because, first, itโs ludicrously simple. Forget the intricacies of pie crust, this baby uses crescent rolls! Second, the taste. Oh boy, the explosion of sweet cherry with the softness of the roll is a match made in heaven. Lastly, itโs versatile! Perfect for tea-time, as a dessert after dinner, or when youโve just had โone of those daysโ and need a cherry on top.
These Cherry Pie Bites are best devoured warm. However, if by some miracle, you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container. Theyโll stay fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature. You can also refrigerate them for longer shelf life, but remember to warm them up before serving. A hint? They taste even better the next day, after all the flavors mingle at the pie party!
Ingredients
21 ounces of cherry pie filling
2 tubes 8 ounces each of crescent roll dough
1 cup of powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons of milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 375ยฐF.
Prepare a standard muffin tin by applying a layer of nonstick cooking spray.
Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and position individual pieces into the respective sections of the muffin tin, ensuring that the wider section of the dough is placed at the bottom.
Precisely add the cherry pie filling to each portion of the crescent roll dough. Each section should receive approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of filling. Ensure uniform distribution.
Proceed by methodically folding the dough over the filling, ensuring it encases the filling securely.
Bake the assembled pie bites in the preheated oven for a duration of approximately 13-14 minutes, or until they achieve a golden-brown hue.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk. Whisk the ingredients together until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Once the pie bites are sufficiently cooled, uniformly drizzle the prepared glaze over each bite.
