Cherolinks
Ingredients:
– 1 package of store-bought puff pastry (or homemade if preferred)
– 1 cup of cherry pie filling
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the puff pastry into strips, approximately 1-inch wide.
4. In a small bowl, mix the cherry pie filling with ground cinnamon until well combined.
5. Spoon a small amount of the cherry-cinnamon mixture onto one end of each puff pastry strip.
6. Gently fold the pastry strip in half over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal.
7. Twist the sealed pastry strip gently, creating a spiral shape. Repeat this process with the remaining strips.
8. Once all the pastry strips are filled, twisted, and shaped, place them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Brush the tops of the Cherolinks with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
12. Optional: Dust the Cherolinks with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
