Cherry Crescents

prep time:: 20 min
total time:: 40 min

Makes 16 servings

Quick tip: I made these by just taking a dice sized cube of cream cheese and stuffing it in the center of the triangle, drizzling cherries over and rolling up!

ingredients

1 egg, separated
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
2 (8 ounce)cans refrigerated crescent rolls (I used reduced fat)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (can be low fat)

directions

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg yolk. Separate dough into 16 triangles; place on lightly greased baking sheets. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture near the edge of the short side of each triangle. Top with 1 tablespoon pie filling. Fold long point of triangle over filling and tuck under dough. Lightly beat egg white; brush over rolls. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
