Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Dough
- 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 prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a floured surface and carefully separate it into triangles along the perforations.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling at the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, making sure not to overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
- Roll Crescents: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle tightly toward the tip, pinching the edges to seal in the filling and form a crescent shape.
- Bake: Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare Vanilla Powdered Sugar: While the rolls bake, mix the powdered sugar with vanilla extract to create a lightly scented dusting sugar.
- Cool and Dust: Allow baked crescent rolls to cool slightly before dusting them generously with the vanilla powdered sugar to add sweetness and flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a delightful breakfast pastry or dessert.
Notes
- Use canned cherry pie filling for convenience or homemade for a fresher taste.
- Be careful not to overfill the dough triangles to prevent filling leakage.
- These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For an extra touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top instead of powdered sugar.
- Ensure edges are sealed tightly to keep the filling inside while baking.
