Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 8 cavities of a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Open a can of crescent rolls and separate each roll at the dotted line. Cut each triangle in half width-wise. Mold a circular piece of dough from the half and place it in the bottom of the muffin tin and up the sides to form a cup.
Place 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling on top of the dough. Place the other half of the cut dough on top and carefully press to seal with fingers. Repeat for other remaining muffin tin cavities.
Beat egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of each bomb with egg wash. Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes and then carefully remove from muffin tin and place on a rack to fully cool.
To make icing, place powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and mix to combine. If your icing is too runny, add more sugar until you reach desired consistency. Drizzle over cherry pie bombs and serve.

Notes

MAKE AHEAD - You can fill the dough balls in the muffin tin and refrigerate until ready to bake and serve.

DOUGH - This recipe uses Pillsbury Grands size crescent rolls, and they seem to be a perfect size.

If you're as big a fan of cherries as we are, you may be tempted to overfill the dough. We don't recommend it as it tends to spill over the edge, and your bombs don't seal well.

DOUBLE BATCH - You can make a dough batch using the whole can of cherry pie filling.
