For the Cherry Bites:
- 1 can cherry pie filling (21 oz)
- 2 tubes crescent roll dough (8 oz each)
For the Glaze:
- 1 to 2 tbsp milk
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (sifted for a smoother glaze)
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the dough from sticking and to ensure easy release of the cherry bites after baking.
- Arrange the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and place each piece into a muffin tin. Ensure the widest part of each dough triangle is at the bottom of the muffin cup, forming a small nest to hold the filling.
- Add the Cherry Filling: Spoon cherry pie filling into each dough cup, using about 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons per cup. It’s perfectly fine if some of the filling overflows during the baking process; this just adds to the rustic charm and flavor.
- Fold and Bake the Dough: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the cherry filling to enclose it as much as possible. This helps in keeping most of the filling contained and gives a nice finished shape. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the cherry bites are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cherry bites are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the amount of milk to reach your desired glaze consistency, whether you prefer a thicker or a thinner drizzle.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the cherry bites are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm cherry bites using a spoon to achieve a nice pattern or coverage. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
Notes
- Use nonstick cooking spray or lightly butter the muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Don’t worry if some cherry filling overflows during baking—it adds rustic charm.
- Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more or less milk depending on your preference.
- Serve the cherry bites warm for best flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
