Warm Cherry Pie Rolls
Your friends and family thank you in advance for making them these warm cherry pie rolls.
These cherry pie rolls are seriously good, and easy to make.
As a matter of fact, they’re so good that these pie rolls seem like they would be much harder to make than they really are.
Although they’re made with premade cherry pie filling, any variety of premade pie filling would taste wonderful.
For example, blueberry or apple pie filling.
About this Recipe
These cherry pie rolls can be partially made ahead of time too.
Just fill and roll each pie so that it can be cooked right before serving.
About Serving
They’re best when served warm so that the outside crust is crispy, and the warmth of the pie makes the vanilla ice cream slightly melt over the entire dessert.
When the warm pie filling meets up with the melted vanilla ice cream, the taste is glorious.
For the serving dish, a banana split bowl works nicely so that the melted ice cream can be eaten with a spoon.
If you’ve had a warm slice of pie served with ice cream on a plate before, you may know how hard it can be to get the melted ice cream in a spoon to eat along with the pie.
Desserts served with vanilla ice cream on top are so good.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Crust – canola oil and large flour tortillas
Filling – canned cherry pie filling
Toppings – vanilla ice cream, powdered sugar…
…whipped topping or whipped cream and…
…Maraschino cherries with stems for garnish
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Tortillas:
Put a flour tortilla in the microwave for about 38 seconds or less, just long enough to make it soft so that it will roll without breaking.
Cherry Pie Filling:
As soon as the tortilla comes out of the microwave put two heaping serving spoons (approx. 2 heaping tablespoons) of the cherry filling on the tortilla.
Spoon the filling in a narrow lengthwise area about an inch away from the sides of the tortilla.
For Rolling:
Fold the front of the tortilla over the cherry pie filling as tight as possible all the way around the pie filling (so none of the filling can squeeze out when rolling the tortilla).
Fold over each of the sides in a 2-inch fold.
Roll the tortilla over the pie filling as tight as possible.
Repeat this process of filling and rolling the tortillas for as many servings as you would like.
For Frying:
Add canola oil in a skillet so that it’s about 1 inch deep in the pan.
Heat the oil and put the pie rolls in the skillet.
The oil gets hot fast so keep an eye on it in case you need to turn the heat down a bit.
Then using cooking tongs, continue turning the pie rolls so they cook evenly.
Cook the pie rolls until they’re a golden color on all sides.
Then, carefully transfer the pie rolls on to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve:
While they’re warm, using cooking tongs carefully put the pie rolls in individual serving dishes and dust them with powdered sugar.
Top each pie roll with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream (or more if you like).
Add a good size dollop of whipped topping or whipped cream on top.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
This is best when served warm (but not hot) topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
