This Cherry Pie Crescent Rolls recipe transforms simple crescent roll dough into a delectable dessert that's sure to impress.
Ingredients:
For the Crescent Rolls:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
For the Vanilla Glaze:
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Carefully open the crescent roll can and unroll the dough. Gently separate the dough into 8 individual triangles, ensuring they remain intact.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the cherry pie filling with almond extract (if using). The almond extract adds a subtle, sophisticated flavor that complements the cherries beautifully.
- Spoon a generous amount of the cherry filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause leaking during baking.
- Starting at the wide end, carefully roll up each crescent, moving toward the pointed end. Tuck and seal the edges to keep the filling inside as much as possible.
- Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet with the seam-side facing down. This helps prevent unrolling during baking.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, watching for a beautiful golden-brown color. The rolls should be puffed and look irresistibly flaky.
- While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and free of lumps.
Ready to Indulge!
Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm crescent rolls, allowing it to slightly melt and seep into the pastry. The contrast of warm rolls and sweet glaze is simply divine.
Storage Solutions:
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days
- Reheat in the oven for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness
- Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days
- Best enjoyed warm, but equally delicious at room temperature
- Not recommended for freezing due to the fresh filling
Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast, a delightful dessert, or a sweet snack, these Cherry Pie Crescent Rolls are guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone's face!
