Ingredients

For the Base and Topping:

• 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Mix

1. In a small bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3: Layer the Crescent Dough

1. Roll out one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
2. If there are perforations in the dough, pinch them together to create a seamless layer.

Step 4: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth.
2. Add the vanilla extract and egg, and beat until fully combined and creamy.

Step 5: Assemble the Layers

1. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.
2. Roll out the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cheesecake layer, pinching any seams together.

Step 6: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

1. Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top layer of dough.
2. For extra richness, lightly brush the top with melted butter before sprinkling the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 7: Bake

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
2. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.

Step 8: Chill and Serve

1. Once cooled, refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours to set.
2. Slice into squares or bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
