1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ First Layer of Crescent Roll Dough:
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and lay it flat across the bottom of the baking dish.
Press the seams together to form a smooth, even base layer.
3️⃣ Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ Spread the Filling:
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the base crescent roll layer.
5️⃣ Add the Second Layer of Crescent Roll Dough:
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the cream cheese layer.
Gently press the seams together to create a smooth top layer.
6️⃣ Add the Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
Brush the melted butter evenly over the top crescent dough layer.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the buttered dough.
7️⃣ Bake:
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
8️⃣ Cool and Serve:
Allow the casserole to cool for 20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Optional: Drizzle with honey or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness.
