Cherry Pie Bites
After making our Cherry Cream Cheese Crescent Ring, I was determined to make another quick and easy cherry crescent dessert. My family loved the combination of the flaky crust, cherries, and sweet glaze.

After spotting these Apple Pie Bites over on Parent Pretty, I just knew I needed to make us a cherry version. I made a couple batches and they were perfect for placing in the freezer to heat on busy mornings.
I did not add cream cheese to these sweet little “pies” as I knew the cherries and crust with glaze would be enough. I considered adding cream cheese but they were perfect without.
Since these were so easy, I had them in the oven within a few minutes time. I love everything quick and easy and these meet both of those qualifications. The red cherries are so super colorful. The glaze makes them a bit decadent looking. PERFECT.
All that is needed to make these muffin tin Cherry Pies is some store bought crescents, cherry pie filling, confectioners sugar, and a splash of milk. Perfect for making for a large crowd at holiday times too!
INGREDIENTS
2 can Crescent Roll Dough
21 oz Cherry Pie Filling
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1-2 tbsp Milk
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375.
Spray muffin pan with cooking spray.
Unroll and separate dough.
Place one triangle into each cup and fill with a tablespoon of pie filling (you can load them up, and it will not hurt a thing).
Fold 2 shorter ends together on the top and pull longer end over those.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Set aside to cool.
Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
Transfer cooled bites to wore rack and drizzle with glaze mixture.

I bought everything to have ready for my 11 yo granddaughter when she came. She loves to make something for her pappy and I when she visits( frequently I might add) and this was simple and easy clean up for gramma. They were devoured by all of us. Delicious. Thanks for sharing
That was fun and easy for a quick dessert. Thanks for sharing..
Awesome and easy. I added a bit of almond extract to glaze cause not a big fan of powdered sugar glaze. Perfect!
Do you use a regular muffin tin or the larger muffin tins?
Hi Jan! I used a regular-sized muffin tin. You could also use the larger size, you will just need more filling. I hope that helps.
The recipe sounds delicious but I do have a question. You mentioned you did not use the cream cheese as listed in a recipe, but will you please provide it simpley because we are cherry fanatics and I would like it for a personal option. I’ll come back and rate it when you update to include cream cheese. Good comments from readers!!
Made the last night and they were absolutely delicious!!! Eve tone loved them!! I was told next time to make them with apple pie filling.
Made for yesterday’s Super Bowl. So easy and so good!
Could you share the cherry pie filling brand you use?
These are my new favorite, thank you for sharing this perfectly tasty treat. Simplicity is the key.

Hi Dana! I most often use the Duncan Hines Cherry Pie filling. It is always bright and colorful. So happy you enjoyed the recipe! Have a great weekend- Jen
I use only Duncan Hines COMSTOCK CHERRY pie filling with any recipe that calls for cherries, it has the best flavor.
YUMMY! Pinned ♥ I invite you to link up at my #UnlimitedMonthlyLinkParty 1 open until June 26th.
I used Bakers Joy to spray the muffin
Pan. Had no problem getting them out.
I also used the Grands extra large crescent
Rolls with butter. I cannot wait to try
them.
These look amazing, muffin tin is a great idea, contains the filling. Ingenious idea, I’m going to make these. My husband loves turnovers using the crescents, he calls them “puffers”!

Easy & Delicious!
These look amazing!!! Perfect for any holiday or occasion!
I made these for my dad for Father’s Day yesterday, and he LOVED them!! This is an excellent recipe!! Thank you SO much for sharing it. I will definitely be making them again, SOON!! ?
Tried these tonight. I used Pillsbury crescent rolls which were inconsistent in size and shape. If you can just use the thicker ones and make the thinner ones into something else or even just baked rolls that might be a good idea. So, you will need more than 2 pigs. Make sure the bottom is completely covered and as much of the sides as you can. This will make it alot easier to get out of the pan without it falling apart. And if you can leave it in the pan at least 5 minutes that will help too.
In the end, I put them in cupcake papers and some used forks. Delicious but not a total win or fail. I did not have a problem with the bottoms not cooking and the tops were a nice golden brown.
Love this recipe!!! My only problem is HOW to move them from cupcake pan to wire cooling rack!!! Lol!!! THANKS for posting this RECIPE!!!
Mine look good, but the bottom is soft. Is this normal
I love this delicious easy to make cherry dessert. I could whip up these cheery dessert now because I have crescent rolls and cherry pie filling. YEAH!
sharing!
