Don’t miss these Rustic Mini Cherry Crescent Pies—bite-sized treats made with crescent roll dough for a buttery, flaky crust and finished with a crunchy streusel. This easy cherry crescent dessert is quick to assemble and tastes delightfully homemade.
These mini Cherry Streusel Crescent Pies use store-bought crescent rolls pressed into a muffin tin, filled with classic tart cherry pie filling, and topped with a simple streusel for added texture and sweetness. They work equally well as a dessert, a special breakfast, or a sweet addition to holiday menus like Valentine’s Day or Christmas.
I love how clever this recipe is—using crescent dough makes the crust effortless, but the finished pies still feel homemade. Just unroll the dough, press it into a greased muffin tin, spoon in cherry pie filling, add streusel, and bake. It’s an ideal shortcut when you want great flavor without fuss.
Cherry Streusel Crescent Pies
Cherry Streusel Crescent Pie Recipe
Ingredients — Pies
- 1 can cherry pie filling (example: Lucky Leaf)
- 1 tube crescent rolls (example: Pillsbury)
Streusel Topping
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 tablespoon water
- 2/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
How to Make Cherry Streusel Crescent Pies
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a regular muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Remove the crescent dough from the tube and unroll it.
- There are eight crescent triangles. Pair them to make four rectangles of dough.
- Press each rectangle into a greased muffin cup to form a small pie shell.
- Spoon a modest amount of cherry filling into each crescent shell. Avoid overfilling—about half the can will remain if you fill only four pies (you can make eight if desired).
- In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, water, and softened butter. Use a fork to mash and mix until crumbly to form the streusel.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over each filled pie. You may have a little streusel left depending on how generously you top them.
- Bake at 375°F for 12–13 minutes, until the crust edges turn golden brown. These are best served warm.
Storing
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving for best texture.
Serving Suggestions
These crescent pies are lovely served a la mode. Top with a scoop of cinnamon cheesecake ice cream or classic no-churn vanilla bean ice cream for a delicious contrast of warm pie and cold, creamy ice cream. A light drizzle of simple vanilla glaze also pairs nicely.
Not a cherry fan? Swap the cherry filling for blueberry, apple, raspberry, or strawberry pie filling to customize the flavor.
These Rustic Cherry Streusel Crescent Pies are a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe: flaky crescent crusts, sweet-tart cherry filling, and a buttery streusel finish. They’re perfect for breakfast treats, easy weeknight desserts, or festive gatherings.
