  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 oz
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts optional

Additional
  • Additional cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: Unroll the crescent roll dough and spread it out on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press the seams together to form a single, cohesive crust.
  3. Step 3: Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough. This will help the cinnamon sugar stick and create a golden crust.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Sprinkle this sweet mixture generously over the buttered dough.
  5. Step 5: In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. This creamy layer is going to be a game-changer!
  6. Step 6: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar crust. Don’t be shy—make sure it’s well covered!
  7. Step 7: If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the cream cheese layer for some delightful crunch.
  8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Your kitchen is about to smell heavenly!
  9. Step 9: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar on top if desired.
  10. Step 10: Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy every bite!
