Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 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 ease cleanup.
- Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and gently separate it into individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Add filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling along with a small amount of vanilla extract mixture at the wide end of each dough triangle.
- Roll crescents: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle towards the pointed tip, sealing the edges firmly to encase the filling and prevent leakage during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Finish and serve: Let the crescent rolls cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finish.
Notes
- Ensure the edges of the crescent rolls are sealed well to avoid filling spilling during baking.
- For a homemade touch, use fresh cherry pie filling or add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling before rolling.
- These crescent rolls are best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- If you prefer a glaze instead of powdered sugar, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk or lemon juice for drizzling.
