INGREDIENTS

• 2 (8 oz. each) pkgs. refrigerated crescent rolls
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
• 21 oz. can cherry pie filling
• Glaze:
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 teaspoons milk

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll crescent dough and arrange 12 of the triangles in a circle with wide ends toward the outside edge of a large pizza stone or on a large cookie sheet which has been lightly oiled and dusted with flour - the points should not meet in the center. Lightly flour and roll out the seams making a 14" circle with a 3" hole in the center.
• Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg & vanilla and spread over dough. Top with pie filling.
• Cut each of the 4 remaining triangles into thirds (starting at the wide end opposite the point and cutting lengthwise to the point). Arrange over filling evenly in spoke-like pattern. Press ends to seal at center and outer edges.
• Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly. Mix powdered sugar and milk until glaze consistency and drizzle over coffee cake.
