Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon

Crust & Topping:

  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Butter Topping:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  • Make Cinnamon Sugar:
    In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside half for bottom, half for topping.

  • Layer Bottom Crust:
    Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar evenly in the dish.
    Unroll one can of crescent dough and press into the dish, sealing seams and stretching to the edges.

  • Make Cheesecake Filling:
    In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla; mix until creamy and fully combined.

  • Assemble Layers:
    Spread cheesecake filling evenly over the pressed dough.
    Unroll the second can of dough and place over the filling, sealing all seams.

  • Add Topping:
    Brush top layer with melted butter.
    Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar evenly over the buttered surface.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set (jiggles slightly in the center).

  • Cool & Cut:
    Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. For clean cuts, chill briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.

  • Press seams well to prevent filling leakage.

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days; warm briefly before serving to refresh the cinnamon crust
