Cherry-Filled Crescent Rolls
These Cherry-Filled Crescent Rolls are a quick and easy treat that’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack! Flaky crescent roll dough is filled with sweet cherry pie filling, baked until golden, and topped with a simple glaze. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup cherry pie filling (or homemade cherry filling)
½ cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for glaze)
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Optional: 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into 8 triangles along the perforations.
3. Fill the Crescent Rolls:
Place 1-2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling near the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
Roll the dough from the wide end to the narrow tip, gently pinching the edges to seal the filling inside.
4. Brush and Bake:
Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar, if desired, for a sweet, crisp crust.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
5. Prepare the Glaze:
While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. Adjust the glaze’s consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
6. Glaze the Rolls:
Once baked, remove the crescent rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
7. Serve:
Serve these cherry-filled crescent rolls warm as a dessert or sweet breakfast treat.
