All Recipes' Layered Cinnamon Crescent Roll Recipe

I got this recipe from my friend Kellie (it's on her blog too!) and I think it's great!  Definitely not something if you are looking for a healthy dessert... I mean, it's got cream cheese and 1/2 cup of butter! But if you want something easy that's yummy, here you go. 

Layered Cinnamon Crescent Roll Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 pkgs of refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

1. Spread one pkg of refrigerated crescent roll dough in the bottom of a greased 9x13" pan (pinch dough together at seams or roll with a small roller).
2. Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
3. Spread mixture onto roll layer.
4. Top mixture with another package of crescent roll dough (pinched together at seams).
5. Mix melted butter, sugar and cinnamon.
6. Pour on top of the dough.  
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Marsha's Notes:

• You can buy crescent dough sheets instead of the perforated kind that makes individual crescents to make life just a touch easier.

• Here is what it looked like before baking, after baking, and when topped with an optional icing glaze.

I wasn't expecting the molten puddles of cinnamon sauce, so it will be interesting to see if that is how it always is.

Because it looked bald, I did about 1 cup of powdered sugar mixed with a little bit of milk (couple Tbl... maybe but probably less than 1/4 cup...?).

• I haven't made this recipe in years, and this time using the "dough sheets" it turned out cakier than I was expecting (no layers of flaky crescent). I can't remember what the texture was like when I originally made this recipe, so I don't know if the texture this time was because of how how the dough sheets I bought were stored, that batch I got, or if it's always that way, so I would be interested to document in the future the difference between another batch with dough sheets and a batch with perforated dough. That said, it was still delicious.
