Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a bowl until evenly coated.
Step 2
Lay a sheet of phyllo on a clean counter. Brush lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Layer remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter and breadcrumbs between layers.
Step 4
Spread cherry filling down one long edge, leaving 2 inches bare. Roll tightly, sealing the seam with butter.
Step 5
Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush exterior generously with remaining melted butter.
Step 6
Bake 25–30 minutes until the exterior is deep golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Cool 5 minutes on the pan. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve warm.
