Pie Bites
- 1 can cherry pie filling (21 ounces)
- 2 tubes crescent roll dough (8 ounces each)
Glaze
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- Prepare the crescent rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Fill the dough: Place about one tablespoon of cherry pie filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, being careful not to overfill to avoid leaking.
- Shape the bites: Roll up each crescent triangle starting from the wide end toward the point, encasing the cherry filling inside. Place the rolls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the pie bites: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the glaze: While the bites bake, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl. Add more milk if necessary to reach a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.
- Glaze and serve: Remove the pie bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cherry pie bites and serve.
Notes
- You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cherry filling for extra warmth and flavor.
- Brush the crescent rolls with an egg wash before baking for a shinier finish.
- Allow the pie bites to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the sugar from melting off.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat lightly before serving.
