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
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the rolls bake evenly and do not stick.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a floured surface and carefully separate it into individual triangles, which will serve as the base for each roll.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling at the wide end of each triangle, ensuring enough to provide a flavorful burst without overfilling.
- Roll Dough: Roll each triangle from the wide end towards the tip, sealing the edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Prepare Topping: While the rolls bake, mix the powdered sugar with vanilla extract to create a simple vanilla glaze.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle or dust with the vanilla powdered sugar mixture before serving for a sweet and aromatic touch.
Notes
- Use canned cherry pie filling for convenience or homemade for a fresher taste.
- Ensure edges are sealed tightly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
- Allow crescent rolls to cool slightly before adding powdered sugar glaze to prevent melting.
- For additional flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon into the cherry filling before rolling.
- Serve warm for the best taste experience.
