Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce each) can refrigerated crescent rolls divided
  • 4 (8 ounce each) box cream cheese at room temperature
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ½ teaspoons cinnamon divided
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar divided
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat to 350°F.
  2. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish pinching the seams together if necessary.

  6. Pour the butter over the top of the dough and spread to coat.
  7. Whisk together the remaining sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle over the top of the dough to coat.
  8. Bake until the dough is cooked through and puffed up, about 50 minutes.
