Equipment

  • muffin pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce package crescent rolls
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 21 ounces cherry pie filling

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the dough into two rectangles. Pinch the seams together.
  • Stir together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and spread the mixture evenly over each dough sheet.
  • Spread the cherries evenly over the cream cheese on both sheets.
  • Carefully roll up the sheet starting at the short end, then cut each roll into four equal pieces.
  • Place the slices in the prepared muffin pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan until they're safe to touch, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
  • While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the muffins before serving.
