Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough use two 8-oz tubes
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar for the filling
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 21 oz cherry pie filling
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar for sprinkling
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp fine salt optional
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Unroll half the crescent dough. Press seams together and fit it into the pan as the bottom crust.
  • Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Mix in lemon zest if using.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom crust.
  • Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese, spreading gently to cover.
  • Unroll remaining dough. Pinch seams, then lay over the filling to cover. Tuck edges in lightly.
  • Brush the top with melted butter. Stir 2 tbsp sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.
  • Bake 28–33 minutes, until the top is deep golden and filling is bubbling at the edges.
  • Cool 15 minutes for cleaner slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Variation: Swap 1/2 tsp almond extract for part of the vanilla and scatter sliced almonds on top before baking. Prefer a glaze? Skip the cinnamon-sugar and drizzle with a quick mix of 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1–2 tbsp milk after cooling.
Storage: Refrigerate covered for up to 3 days. Rewarm slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in a 300°F oven for 8–10 minutes.
