CRESCENT CHERRY CHEESECAKE COBBLER
VIDEO INCLUDED BELOW:
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS COBBLER:
- You can pretty much use any pie filling for this: Strawberry, blueberry or blackberry all work well.
- Oven times may vary. You want to make sure you crescent roll dough is cooked all the way through. If necessary, cover the top with aluminum foil about halfway through baking so the top doesn't get too brown while the bottom dough is still baking. Alternatively, you can pre-bake the bottom crescent roll dough for about 8 minutes before adding the topping.
- Use real butter for this, not margarine. Margarine contains oils and will make the dough soggy instead of crisp.
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature so it will come out smooth and not lumpy.
- If you can find the crescent roll dough seamless sheets, use those to make this just a bit easier to put together.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
crescent rolls
cream cheese
sugar
vanilla extract
cherry pie filling
butter

SOUNDS SO GOOD AND EASY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO ENJOY MAKING TOO!!!
Definitely! Also, Pillsbury makes crescent rolls into sheets now for baking. So, if you can find those, that makes it even easier to make!
This is also good with apple pie filling and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
was wondering if we could sub!! thx
this looks really easy and really good!!!
I just made something very similar to this for Thanksgiving breakfast. I just called it a danish instead. It was SO easy and delish!
I love how easy and yummy this looks!
OOOH!!! Going to make this! Think I will try strawberry pie filling and maybe a tad of lemon in the cream cheese!! Thank you for the recipe...!
Good idea with the strawberry. Lemon will help balance out the sweetness since strawberry pie filling can be super sweet. 🙂
Add a 1/2 cup of fresh or canned pineapple pieces to the cherry pie filling & a dash of nutmeg, it really enhances the cherries.
I made this tonight but used no sugar added filling and stevia sugar blend turned out fantastic and didnt miss all the carbs and sugar
I made this adding eggs and cinnamon and vanilla and sugar to the cream cheese. I used Strawberry pie filling with cresent roll on top and bottom. It was really good. I baked it for hour ten minutes.
I found crescent dough in sheets just recently...I was so happy!!!
I made your cherry pie bite recipe except I used apple pie filling, my family loves them! Thanks!!!
Yay! Thank you so very much!
Great recipe Brandie! Dolly great idea with the lemon, will try it with blueberry! Enjoy all!
Hey Brandie,
You know you are not fair. I haven't worked off Thanksgiving fat and now I have have another delicious recipe of yours to make. Maybe I'll eat this one one the treadmill 🙂 Can't wait to try it!
Hahaa! I like that idea!
i used peach....yummy
Lemon pie filling is marvelous also. Instead of adding sugar before baking, dust with confectioners sugar when cooled.
I like this because of the cream cheese! Reminds me of a something I buy at a local pastry shop. Pinned.
I make something similar to this using blueberry pie filling....but the cherry looks so pretty and festive!
I love that white baking dish....could you share where you got that!? Or what company makes it!?
Keep up the good work! 🙂
Hi! I actually purchased it at Target. It's made by Corningware and the color is French White. I am loving these baking dishes with handles!
OMG, I have been making this for a couple of years now and it was an adaptation of the crescent cream cheese danish. I am so glad that other people found out how to do this because it is awesome! My significant other asks for it on a weekly basis. I have tried cherry, blueberry, strawberry and apple. The best, we think, so far...apple! The lemon sounds good too, though!
When making the apple do you use fresh apples or canned?
Apple Pie Filling!
about to make Peach with this recipe
Just put this in the oven........easy peasey!!!!!!! Can't wait to taste. Thanks for another simple, easy to find ingredients, super simple to make and (I know) just delicious recipe!!
Oh My Word.......DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! I'm Hooked! Thank you!
I have to say, as an experienced baker, using a VERY simple recipe, I managed to mess it up quite well! I thought I had pie filling but did not. So, I figured, crushed pineapple (drained) and coconut would taste delicious. Mixed up the cream cheese, put the pineapple and coconut on the pastry, put on the top pastry, whoops forgot the cream cheese on the bottom! So my layers were backwards! Testament to the simplicity of your recipe. It's still delicious! Next time I'll do it right!
Yum!
How hard would it be to double this recipe and bake it in a 13 x 9 pan? Has anyone tried this?
Haven't tried it, but I don't know why it wouldn't work. That's the way I'll do it.
I just did that....doubled Everything but the butter and the sugar on top...its fabulous!! Oh and I added
a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Amazing!
I wonder if you could use phyllo dough?
I made a cherry and a raspberry for my family Christmas party, and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing the recipe with us! xo
Looks yummy, might try using a homemade crescent roll recipe with this.
Made this and it is fabulous!!!
wow, I love your baking dish, where did you get it?
She said she got it from Target and it's made by Corringware.
This looks great! I am making as I type but with apple filling! Can't wait! 🙂
Tried this tonight with apple. Wonderful and no leftovers!!! Grandchildren are asking when we can make it again. Next time I think will be blueberry.
