- Ground Cinnamon: 1 tablespoon

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the First Layer:
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing any perforations to create a uniform layer.

- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
- Add the Second Layer:
- Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the cream cheese layer, pressing the seams together to seal.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
- Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered top.
- Bake:
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese filling.
- To make the dessert more festive, add a handful of fresh berries on top before serving.
- This casserole can be served warm or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
