How to Make Aww Shucks Crescent Dough Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Unroll one can (8 oz) of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.
- In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1/2 cup of your favorite jam or preserves for 45 seconds, stirring once halfway through, until slightly liquefied.
- Carefully spoon the jam over the cream cheese layer, avoiding mixing the two layers. The jam peeking through the crescent dough will create a beautiful effect.
- Unroll the second can (8 oz) of crescent roll dough. Gently stretch and place it over the jam layer. Do not worry about perfectly covering the jam; leaving some gaps is fine and visually appealing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Evenly spoon the butter mixture over the top layer of crescent dough.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or even cold!
