Spread 1/2 can cherry pie filling down center of dough leaving 1 1/2 -2 inches on each side. Sprinkle with orange peel and walnuts. Cut strips 2 " long, 1/2 inch apart. Crisscross strips over filling. Let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes until golden brown. Dribble sugar glaze and walnuts over top.
This is a great treat on Christmas morning.
