Servings: 16
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients
cooking spray (such as Pam®)
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls (such as Pillsbury® Grands! Big and Flaky)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 (18.5 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
¾ cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Directions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2: Unroll crescent rolls into the prepared dish, pinching the seams together.
Step 3: Beat cream cheese, white sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; spread over crescent roll dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon over cream cheese mixture layer.
Step 4: Pour cherry pie filling over brown sugar layer. Sprinkle yellow cake mix over cherry pie filling. Arrange butter slices over cake mix and top with remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Wrap a piece of aluminum foil under baking dish to help prevent rolls from burning.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Cook’s Note:
If you have any leftover crescent rolls when unrolling into the baking dish, cut to fit around the edges if desired.
