Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry thawed
1½ cups cherry pie filling
2 tablespoons butter unsalted, melted
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉.
Roll the pastry sheet out to 11 inches by 12 inches and gently mark it into three 4-inch sections. On the outer two sections, cut into about 1-inch strips, away from the center, as shown in the photos above. Sprinkle the center section with powdered sugar.
Place the cherry pie filling into the center third of the puff pastry.
Then fold the strips up and over the cherry pie filling and press them down into the puff pastry on the opposite side, slightly stretching the dough to fit over the filling and crisscrossing the ends as shown. When you get to the last strips, fold them over and underneath the dough.
Brush the butter over the dough, and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden. Let cool slightly, then dust with the powdered sugar and enjoy!
