These Delicious Cherry Pie Bites are a delightful treat featuring sweet cherry pie filling baked inside flaky crescent roll dough. Topped with a smooth confectioners’ sugar glaze, these bite-sized desserts are perfect for parties, snacks, or a sweet finish to any meal. Easy to prepare and quick to bake, they combine classic flavors in an irresistible hand-held form.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cherry Bites:

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

For the Glaze:

  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar (sifted for a smoother glaze)

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 the dough from sticking and to ensure easy release of the cherry bites after baking.
  2. Arrange the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and place each piece into a muffin tin. Ensure the widest part of each dough triangle is at the bottom of the muffin cup, forming a small nest to hold the filling.
  3. Add the Cherry Filling: Spoon cherry pie filling into each dough cup, using about 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons per cup. It’s perfectly fine if some of the filling overflows during the baking process; this just adds to the rustic charm and flavor.
  4. Fold and Bake the Dough: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the cherry filling to enclose it as much as possible. This helps in keeping most of the filling contained and gives a nice finished shape. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes, or until the cherry bites are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While the cherry bites are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the amount of milk to reach your desired glaze consistency, whether you prefer a thicker or thinner drizzle.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Once the cherry bites are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm cherry bites using a spoon to achieve a nice pattern or coverage. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!

Notes

  • You can substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry or apple for variety.
  • Using sifted confectioners’ sugar helps achieve a smoother glaze texture.
  • Ensure the muffin tin is well-greased to prevent sticking and maintain the shape of the bites.
  • Serve these bites warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
