Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough (such as Pillsbury®)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
½ (21 ounce) can Lemon Pie Filling
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Unroll both pieces of crescent dough. Lay one piece on the bottom of the prepared pan. Set second piece aside.

Pour over crescent dough in the baking pan and cover with the second piece of dough. Pour melted butter over top and sprinkle with remaining white sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • Dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into 24 bars.
