Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent dough the regular kind, not the sheets
  • 2 blocks cream cheese 8 oz each, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar for the cinnamon-sugar topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl and electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pastry brush or small spoon
  • Spatula
  • Baking dish (9x13 inch)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Open the first can of crescent dough, unroll it into the bottom of the pan, pressing and sealing the seams together.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy, then spread evenly over the dough layer.
  4. Unroll the second can of dough over the cream cheese filling, pressing seams together to seal it in.
  5. Brush the top dough layer with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden-brown and the edges have pulled away from the pan.
  7. Allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. If time is short, soften it in warm water for 10-15 minutes.
You can make this dish ahead by assembling it the night before and baking it in the morning. Just take it out while the oven preheats to let it sit for a bit.
For added flavor, consider a pinch of salt in the filling, and feel free to swap out flavors with fruit preserves or different toppings!
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze individual squares for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave for 20-30 seconds, or warm in the oven for 10 minutes at 300°F.
