Description

A simple recipe for layered dessert bars featuring a cream cheese filling between crescent roll dough, topped with cinnamon sugar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough layer.
  4. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the cream cheese layer. Pinch the seams together to seal.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top dough layer.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter over the cinnamon sugar topping.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For easier cleanup, line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  • You can dust the cooled bars lightly with powdered sugar before serving if you prefer extra sweetness.
