Cherry-Almond Crescent Roll Delight

Ingredients

- 1 package Big and Buttery Crescent Rolls (8 count)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/4 cup quick cooking oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup walnut or pecan pieces, chopped
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Crescent Base: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into 8 triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping the wide ends and leaving a small hole in the center.

3. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese, white granulated sugar, almond extract, and egg yolk until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble the Filling: Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the wide ends of the crescent triangle base. Top this with the cherry pie filling, distributing it evenly.

5. Create the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine quick cooking oats, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Stir in the chopped nuts.

6. Complete Assembly: Sprinkle the streusel topping over the cherry pie filling, ensuring even coverage.

7. Bake the Delight: Fold the pointed ends of the crescent rolls over the filling in a wreath-like fashion. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

9. Finish the Dish: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm crescent roll delight.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully transfer to a serving platter and enjoy the warm, gooey, sweet delight as a perfect dessert, decadent breakfast, or indulgent snack.
