Ingredients
Crescent roll dough
2 (8 ounce) packages (Unrolled and separated into triangles)
Cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) package (Softened)
Powdered sugar
1/4 cup (Sifted)
Egg yolk
1 (Separated from the white)
Vanilla extract (or almond extract)
1/2 teaspoon (Pure Extract)
Peach pie filling
1 (21 ounce) can (Ready to use)
Powdered sugar (for glaze)
1/2 cup (Sifted)
Milk (or orange juice)
2-3 teaspoons (For mixing into glaze)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Unroll the crescent dough into a flat surface and separate it into 16 triangles. Set aside 4 of these triangles for a decorative topping.
3
On a large round pizza pan or a baking stone, arrange 12 triangles in a circle, ensuring the wide ends are aimed towards the edge of the pan while the points are directed towards the center. Leave space between the points.
4
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough to form a 14-inch circle, pressing the seams together to create a cohesive crust with a 3-inch diameter opening in the center. Form a slightly raised rim along both the inner and outer edges.
5
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well-blended.
6
Spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch gap from the edge. Spoon the peach pie filling generously on top of the cream cheese layer.
7
Using a pizza cutter, slice the reserved 4 dough triangles lengthwise into three strips each. Arrange these strips over the filling in a spoke-like pattern, pressing the ends down to seal them at both the center and the outer edges.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow cooling for about 15 minutes.
9
For the glaze, mix together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar with the 2-3 teaspoons of milk or orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled coffee cake.
10
Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delightful peach cream cheese coffee cake!
