Ingredients

Scale

For the Pie Bites

  • 1 can cherry pie filling (21 ounces)
  • 2 tubes crescent roll dough (8 ounces each)

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. 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 sticking and ensure easy removal of the pie bites after baking.
  2. Arrange the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and place each triangle into the muffin tin cups. Position the widest part of each triangle at the bottom to create a small nest for the filling.
  3. Add the Cherry Filling: Spoon about 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each dough-lined muffin cup. Slight overflow during baking is normal and adds rustic appeal.
  4. Fold and Bake the Dough: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the cherry filling to enclose it as much as possible. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes until the bites turn golden brown and are fully cooked.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust milk quantity to achieve your preferred glaze consistency.
  6. Glaze and Serve: After baking, allow the cherry pie bites to cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bites using a spoon for an attractive finish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to lightly grease the muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, use less milk; for a thinner glaze, add more milk gradually.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings if desired.
  • For a more decorative look, sprinkle a little cinnamon or sugar on top before baking.
  • Serve these bites warm for the best flavor and texture.
