Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
Filling
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
Topping
- 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 sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Add Filling: Place one spoonful of cherry pie filling at the wide end of each crescent triangle, ensuring not to overfill to prevent leakage during baking.
- Roll Crescents: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly toward the tip, pinching the edges to seal in the filling securely.
- Bake: Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Mix the powdered sugar with vanilla extract for a glaze or dust the powdered sugar over the rolls before serving for a sweet finish.
Notes
- You can use homemade cherry pie filling or any good quality canned filling.
- Be careful not to overfill the crescent rolls to avoid leakage during baking.
- For an extra touch, brush the rolls with melted butter before baking for a richer flavor.
- Allow rolls to cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent the sugar from melting.
- These can be served warm or at room temperature and make an excellent dessert or snack.
