Materials

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • 20 oz. pineapple chunks, drained and diced
  • 1 cup sugar, divided
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 - 2 Tbsp. milk, (can also use water or reserved pineapple juice)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° and spray or grease muffin pans. As this recipe makes 16, grease only 8 in each pan.
  • Unroll and separate the crescent triangles. Place one triangle into each cup.
  • In sauté pan, heat pineapple and 1/2 cup sugar. Simmer on low until sugar and remaining juice thicken, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and fluffy. Stir in vanilla. Fill each triangle with 1 heaping teaspoon of cream cheese mixture. Then divide pineapple mixture evenly over cream cheese mixture.
  • Fold longest point of dough up and over filling. Pinch 2 shorter points together, then fold longest point back over the top.
  • Brush stirred egg over tops of each Bite. Bake for approx. 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Mix powdered sugar and milk together, drizzle over cooled Bites. Enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate any remaining Bites.
