# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 can cherry pie filling (21 ounces)
02 -
2 tubes crescent roll dough (8 ounces each)
→ For the Glaze
03 -
1 cup confectioners' sugar
04 -
1-2 tablespoons milk
# Instructions:
01 -
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.
02 -
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.
03 -
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.
04 -
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.
05 -
While the cherry bites are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. You can adjust the amount of milk to reach your desired glaze consistency, whether you prefer a thicker or a thinner drizzle.
06 -
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!

These cherry pie bites are best served warm.
