Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
-
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on the wide end of each triangle. Top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.
-
Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up to form a crescent shape. Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush each crescent with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added crunch and flavor.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffed up.
-
Remove the crescents from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These pastries are best enjoyed warm.
