In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan (or in the microwave), warm the milk and butter together until the butter melts and the mixture is between 110°F to 115°F. Do not overheat.
Gradually pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side up in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve fresh.
