Ingredients

1 can of Grands canned biscuits
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can cherry pie filling
Cooking spray or oil for greasing
2 tablespoons melted butter
Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits

Roll each canned biscuit out flat using a rolling pin or your hands to create a thin dough circle.

Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits

Place a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese.

Fold the biscuit dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press and crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal.

Step 4: Air Fry the Biscuits

Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Place the filled biscuits in the basket, ensuring they do not touch to allow even air circulation.
Cook at 350°F for 6 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Immediately brush the hot biscuits with melted butter.
Sprinkle granulated sugar generously on top for added sweetness and crunch.

Serve warm and enjoy the perfect combination of flaky pastry, creamy filling, and sweet cherries.
