- In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and the egg white from 1 large egg. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly down the middle third of the crescent roll dough.
- Carefully spoon 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Slice the dough on either side of the filling into diagonal pieces Gently fold each piece over the top, alternating sides to create a braid.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk from the egg used earlier. Brush the yolk over the top of the braided dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let the pastry rest for 10 minutes.
