Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• cooking spray (such as Pam®)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 1 (18.5 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-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.
