Cherry Fruit Rolls
Sweet cherry fruit rolls are a quick, portable treat featuring warm cherry filling wrapped in tortillas, baked until golden, then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar for a delightful snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling in the center of each tortilla and roll up.
- Place seam side down on a baking sheet sprayed with Pam.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350°F until golden brown.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar before serving warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh cherries or a different fruit filling like apple or blueberry. If you prefer a healthier option, whole wheat tortillas work well. To enhance sweetness, mix a little vanilla extract into the cherry pie filling. Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cherry fruit rolls warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate sauce for a decadent touch. They pair beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a refreshing Graduation Drink for a festive gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover cherry fruit rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 30-45 seconds, but baking will keep them crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cherry fruit rolls ahead of time?

Are these fruit rolls suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes, this recipe can be easily adapted for vegan diets by ensuring that the tortillas are made without animal products. Check the ingredient label for any dairy or egg content. Additionally, you can use a plant-based oil spray instead of Pam for baking.
