Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Unroll crescent dough.

* Separate into 16 triangles, reserving 4 triangles for decoration.

On Large Round Stone, arrange 12 triangles in a circle with wide ends toward the outside edge of baking stone and points toward the center. (Points will not meet.)

Using lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough to a 14-inch circle, pressing seams together to seal and leaving a 3-in. hole in center.

Filling:

Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg and vanilla; mix until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with pie filling.

Using Pizza Cutter, cut each remaining triangle into thirds starting at the wide end opposite the point and cutting lengthwise to the point.

Arrange dough strips evenly in spoke-like fashion over filling.

Press ends to seal at center and outer edges.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; cool slightly.

Glaze:

Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth.

Drizzle over coffee cake.

Cut into 12 pieces and serve warm.
