Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Separate dough into individual portions and flatten each into a small circle.
Place 1–2 teaspoons of cherry pie filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the edges up and pinch to seal tightly, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet or air fryer basket.
Brush each ball with melted butter.
Optional: Mix cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle over the tops.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or air fry for 8–10 minutes until golden brown.
Cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with icing if desired.

Notes

Seal the dough well to avoid filling leakage.Use different pie fillings like apple, blueberry, or peach for variety.Add a cube of cream cheese for a creamy center.Glaze with a simple vanilla or almond icing for extra sweetness.Air frying gives a crispier exterior than baking.
