Spread over the crescent layer. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay them on top of the cream cheese layer. Do not press down. Pour the melted margarine over the entire pan. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is crisp and golden.

• Press 1 can crescent roll dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, stretching to the edges.
• Mix the zest of 1 1/2 lemons and juice from 2 lemons together in a bowl. Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar into lemon zest mixture using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; spread over crescent roll dough layer.
• Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and layer over cream cheese mixture, gently stretching dough to the edges. Brush melted butter over crescent roll dough layer. Mix remaining lemon zest and 3 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl; sprinkle over butter.

CHERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• 1. Beat together cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar and almond extract until smooth.
• 2. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and unroll 1 sheet of crescent dough. If you don't have the sheets, and are using regular crescent rolls, pinch together the perforations.
• 3. Pour cream cheese mixture over the dough, and then spread the cherry pie filling over that. Top with second crescent dough sheet.
• 4. Brush the top with the reserved egg white, and sprinkle with sugar. I used a specialty almond/amaretto flavored sugar, but regular white or sparkling sugar would be nice as well.
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until nicely browned. Cool on rack and then refrigerate.
• 6. The filling will be quite runny while warm, but sets up nicely after refrigeration.
