Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
-
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the rolls.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough
-
Carefully open the can of crescent dough and unroll it on a clean surface.
-
Separate the dough into 8 individual triangles along the perforated lines.
Step 3: Fill with Cherry Pie Filling
-
Place about 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on the wide end of each triangle.
-
Be sure to avoid overfilling—this prevents leaks while baking.
Tip: Try to include mostly cherries with minimal syrup to keep it neat.
Step 4: Roll and Seal
-
Starting from the wide end, gently roll up each crescent toward the narrow tip.
-
Lightly pinch the seams closed as you roll to help hold in the filling.
Step 5: Arrange on Baking Sheet
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Place crescent rolls seam-side down, leaving space between each one to allow for puffing during baking.
Step 6: Optional Toppings
-
Brush lightly with melted butter for extra golden color and richness.
-
If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon for warmth and spice.
Step 7: Bake
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until:
-
The crescents are golden brown
-
The dough is cooked through and flaky
-
Step 8: Cool and Serve
-
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
-
Optional: Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a pretty and sweet finish.
