📝 Ingredients
Main Ingredients
-
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
-
1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional Add-Ins & Toppings
-
2 tbsp granulated sugar or brown sugar
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting
-
Vanilla glaze or cream cheese glaze
👩🍳 Directions
1. Prepare the Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. For larger bombs, cut each triangle in half.
2. Fill the Bombs
Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling onto the center of each piece of dough. Be careful not to overfill.
Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon (and sugar if using) over the filling.
3. Seal & Shape
Carefully fold the dough around the filling, pinching seams tightly to form a sealed ball. Roll gently in your hands to ensure no filling leaks out.
Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Butter & Bake
Brush each bomb with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with sugar if desired.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
