Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
- Prepare the base layer: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing the seams to create a uniform layer.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the casserole: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the base layer of crescent dough. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the cheesecake filling, pinching the seams together.
- Add the topping: Brush the melted butter over the top layer of crescent dough. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
- Cool and serve: Allow the casserole to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature.
