Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce package softened cream cheese
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 egg, separated
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
• 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 cup canned cherry pie filling
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, egg yolk and vanilla; mix until smooth.

Unroll crescent rolls and reserve four triangles for decoration. Separate remaining dough into 12 triangles and arrange on 15-inch stone with points toward center. Roll dough into a 14-inch circle to seal seams. Cut out center of dough and discard

Spread cream cheese mixture over dough to within 1/2" of edges; top with pie filling.

Roll remaining dough into a rectangle 6" wide and 7" long. Cut lengthwise into 12 strips. Twist strips and place in spoke-like fashion over filling. Press ends to seal at center and outer edges. Brush strips with lightly beaten egg white. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; cool slightly. For glaze, mix remaining powdered sugar and milk until smooth; drizzle over coffee cake.
