Ingredients
Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
2 cans (8 ounces each) (Unroll and seal into a crust.)
Philadelphia Cream Cheese
2 packages (8 ounces each) (Soften to room temperature.)
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (Add directly to the mixer.)
Egg
1 large (Slightly beaten.)
Sugar
1 cup (divided into 1/2 cup each) (Use half for the filling and half for the topping.)
Ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons (Combine with sugar for topping.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
2
Open one can of Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls and carefully unroll it. Lay the dough evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking pan, making sure to seal the seams where the rolls join to create a uniform crust.
3
In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, slightly beaten egg, and 1/2 cup of sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the crescent roll crust in the baking pan.
5
Open the second can of Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls and unroll it onto a piece of wax paper. Gently press the seams together to form a single sheet of dough.
6
Carefully invert the dough on top of the cream cheese mixture, ensuring that it covers the filling completely.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
8
While the bars are baking, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
9
Once the bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously on top while they are still warm.
10
Allow the bars to cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm or chilled, and enjoy!
