Dough
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Add Filling: Place about 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of each triangle, being careful not to overfill.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the wider end, roll the dough around the cherry filling and pinch the edges firmly to seal the pie bombs and prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon, mixing well.
- Coat Pie Bombs: Brush each pie bomb with melted butter to help the cinnamon sugar adhere, then roll each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated pie bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart to allow even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pie bombs turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm for the best flavor and enjoy your delicious cherry pie bombs!
