Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2
Open the first can of crescent roll dough and unroll it. Place the unrolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing the seams together to form a uniform base.
3
In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Use a hand mixer for quicker results.
4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough layer on the baking sheet.
5
Open the can of blueberry pie filling and gently spread it over the cream cheese layer, ensuring that it's evenly distributed.
6
Open the second can of crescent roll dough and use half of it to cut strips approximately 1-inch wide. Lay the strips over the blueberry layer in a crisscross pattern to create a lattice effect.
7
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish and brush it generously over the lattice dough and the edges of the pastry to enhance browning.
8
Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crescent dough turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling is piping hot.
9
After baking, let the pastry stand for about 5 minutes before slicing it into desired serving sizes. Serve warm and enjoy the melty cheese and gooey blueberry flavors together.
