Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
2
Unroll the first can of crescent rolls, keeping the sections joined together. Press this layer into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar. Heat in the microwave on high for 45 seconds, then stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the pan.
5
Take the second can of crescent rolls and layer it over the cream cheese mixture, pinching the seams to seal any gaps.
6
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the top layer of crescent rolls.
7
Melt the butter and then drizzle it evenly over the entire dish, allowing it to soak into the layers.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9
If you choose to add a diced apple to the cream cheese mixture, increase the baking time by 5 minutes to ensure the apple is tender.
