Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough or puff pastry
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Oil (if frying)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the dough: Flatten each biscuit or pastry piece slightly.
Add the filling: Spoon 1 teaspoon of cherry pie filling into the center of each piece.
Seal the dough: Fold and pinch the edges together, forming a ball.
Butter and sugar: Brush melted butter on top and sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
Bake or fry:
Oven: Bake 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.
Air fryer: Cook 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Frying: Fry in hot oil for 2–3 minutes per side.
Cool and serve: Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy warm!
Notes
- Don’t overfill the dough; a teaspoon of filling is perfect to prevent leaks.
- Seal edges tightly to avoid cherry filling oozing out during baking.
- For an extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar before baking.
- Want variety? Swap cherry for blueberry, apple, or peach filling!
- Serve warm for the ultimate gooey, pie-like experience.
