Sweet Cherry Bread Rolls
We love a good sweet treat in this household and these cherry bread rolls can just hit the spot! The rolls take a little bit of extra time as you need to use mashed potatoes. This is a great dessert to make after a dinner with mashed potato leftovers, but you can certainly boil and mash some potatoes to use. The potatoes helps to keep the bread rolls soft and I promise, you don’t taste them at all!
You can top your cherry bread rolls with any flavor of canned pie filling that you like, we just prefer cherry. It would also taste delicious with blueberry, lemon, apple, and even raspberry pie filling. One they are baked to a soft perfection you can drizzle a sweet confectioners sugar glaze on top. It’s a treat that won’t last long in your house! If you don’t like pie filling you can always leave the fruit off and just brush with melted butter and sprinkle on some cinnamon and sugar.
