Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 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 gently separate it into individual triangles, ready for filling.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling on the wide end of each dough triangle, ensuring enough space on edges for sealing.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end toward the tip, pressing and sealing the edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
- Prepare Dusting: While the crescents bake, mix the powdered sugar with vanilla extract until smooth to create a fragrant dusting.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then dust with the vanilla powdered sugar mixture before serving.
Notes
- Use canned or homemade cherry pie filling depending on your preference.
- Seal edges tightly to avoid filling oozing out during baking.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
