Cinnamon Cheesecake Streudel

Here's a yummy sounding recipe that my sister-in-law just shared with me. Sounds like homemade Cinnabon if you ask me. Can't wait to try it!

-2 cans cresent rolls
-1 1/2 cups sugar
-1 stick butter
-2 - 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
-1 T vanilla
-1 T cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread one can of cresent rolls onto the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan, sealing the seams. Mix cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and vanilla. Spread cream cheese mixture onto bottom layer of cresent roll. Put remaining can of cresent rolls on top of cream cheese mixture, sealing the seams. Melt stick of butter and pour over top of cresent roll. Combine remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tbs of cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle all over the top of the melted butter. Bake for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cooled - about 30-60 minutes. Enjoy with coffee or as part of a brunch!
