Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Dough
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
Filling
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
Finishing Touch
- 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 easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a floured surface and carefully separate it into individual triangles along the pre-scored lines.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling at the wide end of each crescent roll triangle, distributing the filling evenly to avoid overflow during baking.
- Roll Crescents: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle tightly toward the tip, making sure to seal the edges securely to keep the filling inside as they bake.
- Bake: Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare Powdered Sugar Glaze: While the rolls are baking, mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla extract to create a fragrant dusting blend.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust generously with the vanilla-infused powdered sugar before serving for an added burst of sweetness.
Notes
- You can use homemade cherry pie filling if you prefer a fresher taste or want to control sweetness levels.
- Ensure the edges of the crescent rolls are sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking while baking.
- For an extra touch, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the rolls instead of just dusting.
- These rolls are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container and gently reheated.
