Ingredients For Easy Cherry Pie Bombs

For the Cherry Pie Bombs:

• 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 cup cherry pie filling
• Oil for frying

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut into 16 squares. Place a small spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of each square.
2. Form the Bombs:
   • Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal. Make sure they are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
3. Fry the Bombs:
   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the cherry pie bombs in batches, turning once, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
4. Make the Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
5. Glaze and Serve:
   • While the cherry pie bombs are still warm, drizzle them with the glaze or dip them in the glaze to coat. Let set for a few minutes before serving.
