Cherry Cream Crescents

I made these for a bake sale for the Marines last year in Belgium. Sold very quickly and so easy to make.

Yield: 16 rolls

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 egg, separated
• 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg yolk.
3. Separate dough into 16 triangles; place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture near the edge of the short side of each triangle. Top with 1 tablespoon pie filling. Fold long point of triangle over filling and tuck under dough.
4. Lightly beat egg white; brush over rolls.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
