Ingredients:
  • 2 (8 oz.) pkgs. refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/4 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
  • 21 oz. can cherry pie filling or pie filling of your choice
Glaze:
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2-3 tsps. milk
(I add a 1/2 tsp. of almond extract)

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll crescent dough and arrange 12 of the triangles in a circle with wide ends toward the outside edge of a large round pizza stone.  
  2. The points will not meet in the center.  
  3. Lightly flour and roll out the seams making a 14" circle with a 3" hole in the center.
  4. Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg and vanilla and spread over dough.
  5. Top with pie filling
  6. Cut each of the four remaining triangles into thirds (starting at the wide end opposite the point and cutting lengthwise to the point).
  7. Arrange over filling evenly in spoke-like pattern.
  8. Press ends to seal at center and outer edges.
  9. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly.
Glaze: Mix powdered sugar and milk until glaze consistency and drizzle over coffee cake.
