Cherry Pie Bar Ingredients
You will find a full printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here’s a quick peek at what you’ll need. These are simple ingredients you might already have in your kitchen.
- 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 block cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
How to Make Crescent Roll Cherry Pie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Butter an 8×8-inch baking dish or a traditional pie plate.
Open crescent rolls and place half of them (four triangles) into the dish. Spread to the edges.
Add cherry pie filling.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, place the room temperature cream cheese, sugar, and egg.
Mix well (at least 3 – 4 minutes) until smooth and creamy.
Pour over the top of the cherries.
Add the remaining four triangles of crescent rolls.
Using a pastry brush, add the melted butter.
Cover the top with a tablespoon of sugar.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until set. I put a piece of foil over mine for the final 10 minutes so the crust wouldn’t get too dark.
Allow to cool before serving.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream if you like!
