👨‍🍳 How to Make It
1. Preheat and Prep
Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
2. Build the Bottom Layer
Roll out one can of crescent dough and place it in the bottom of your dish. Press the seams together to create one smooth layer.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Evenly spread this mixture over the crescent dough base.
4. Add the Top Layer
Roll out the second can of dough and place it over the cream cheese layer. Gently stretch and press to cover fully, pinching seams as needed to seal.
5. Add the Finishing Touch
Pour the melted butter over the top layer. In a small bowl, mix the remaining ÂĽ cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough for a sweet and spiced topping.
6. Bake
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and puffed and the filling is set.
7. Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy as a delicious dessert or brunch item.
