Sopapilla Cheesecake

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon



Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.



Beat the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth; set aside.



Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough, and use a rolling pin to shape each sheet into 9x13 inch

rectangles. Press one sheet into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Evenly spread the cream

cheese mixture into the baking dish, then cover with the remaining piece of crescent dough, and

brush with melted butter. Stir together 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl, and

sprinkle evenly over the top of the cheesecake.



Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown, about 30

minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
