CHERRY CRESCENT

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Assemble the Crescents:

  1. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
  2. Spoon about 1–2 tbsp cherry pie filling near the wide end of each triangle.
  3. Optional: mix a little vanilla extract into the cherry filling for extra flavor.
  4. Roll up each triangle from the wide end toward the point.
  5. Curve ends slightly to form a crescent shape.

3. Egg Wash & Sugar:

  • Brush each crescent with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  • Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar if desired.

4. Bake:

  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

5. Serve:

  • Optional: dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  • Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Tips:

  • You can substitute cherry filling with apples, blueberries, or even Nutella for variations.
  • Make mini cherry crescents using smaller triangles for bite-sized treats.
  • Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of icing for extra indulgence.

If you want, I can also give you a quick 5-minute cherry crescent version using pre-made puff pastry for an even flakier texture.

Do you want me to share that version?
