We love the cheesecake bars, but adding cherry pie filling is decadently good.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 can(s) cherry pie filling
1 egg, separated
1 c sugar
1 tsp almond extract
2 can(s) refrigerated crescent rolls, the sheet kind
2 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Beat together cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar and almond extract until smooth.
  • 2. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and unroll 1 sheet of crescent dough. If you don't have the sheets, and are using regular crescent rolls, pinch together the perforations.
  • 3. Pour cream cheese mixture over the dough, and then spread the cherry pie filling over that. Top with second crescent dough sheet.
  • 4. Brush the top with the reserved egg white, and sprinkle with sugar. I used a specialty almond/amaretto flavored sugar, but regular white or sparkling sugar would be nice as well.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until nicely browned. Cool on rack and then refrigerate.
  • 6. The filling will be quite runny while warm, but sets up nicely after refrigeration.
