Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg

For the Crust:

2 cans (8 ounces each) crescent roll dough
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.
Roll out one can of crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish, sealing any seams.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the dough.
Roll out the second can of crescent dough and carefully place it over the cheesecake filling, sealing the edges.
Brush the melted butter over the top layer and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing into squares.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure the crescent dough seams are well sealed to prevent leaking.
For extra crispiness, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Let the cheesecake bars chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours for cleaner slices.
