Crispy Warm Cherry Pie Rolls
These crispy warm cherry pie rolls are made with just 3 ingredients. Each bite has a little crunch, fruit filling and creamy, slightly melted ice cream.
Ingredients
Cherry Pie Rolls:
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling or your preferred type of pie filling
- 1 package (8-count) large flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup canola oil amount may vary depending on the size of the pan
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar for garnish
Toppings:
- Vanilla ice cream about 2 scoops per serving
- 1 container (8 ounces) Whipped cream or whipped topping
- Maraschino cherries with stems
Instructions
For the Flour Tortillas:
- Set a flour torilla on a microwavable plate. In a microwave, slightly warm a tortilla for about 38 seconds or less, just long enough to make it soft so that it will roll without breaking.
Make the Cherry Pie Roll:
- As soon as the tortilla comes out of the microwave, spoon the filling (apprx. 2 heaping tablespoons) in a narrow lengthwise area about an inch away from the sides of the tortilla.
- Fold the front of the tortilla over the filling as tight as possible all the way around the filling (so that the filling doesn't 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.
Lightly Fry the Pie Rolls:
- To a medium size skillet, add canola oil so that it's about 1-inch deep in the pan.
- Heat the oil on medium heat and carefully 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 little.
- Using cooking tongs, continue turning the pie rolls so they cook evenly. Cook the pie rolls until they're golden on all sides. Then carefully transfer the pie rolls onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve:
- While the pie rolls are warm, using cooking tongs carefully put each pie roll on individual serving dishes.
- Dust the pie rolls with powdered sugar.
Ice Cream and Toppings:
- On top of each pie roll, add two scoops of vanilla ice cream (or more if you like).
- Then on top, add a good size dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
- This is best when served warm (but not hot) along with ice cream and whipped cream.
