Prepare Cinnamon Sugar:

• In a small bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Preheat Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the middle of the oven.

Prepare Baking Dish:

• Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan.

Layer Crescent Dough:

• Open one tube of crescent roll dough. Unroll it and press the seams together to form a single rectangular sheet. Place this sheet into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, ensuring it covers the entire bottom.

Prepare Cheesecake Filling:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, the egg, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Assemble Layers:

• Pour the cream cheese mixture over the bottom layer of dough, spreading it evenly.
• Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough, press the seams together, and place it over the cream cheese layer, covering it completely.

Add Topping:

• Pour the melted butter over the top layer of dough, spreading it evenly.
• Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 26-30 minutes, or until the top is puffed and golden brown.

Cool and Serve:

• Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to the refrigerator to chill thoroughly before cutting into bars.
