Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 rolls refrigerated crescent dough
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 can (15 oz) peach slices in syrup, drained and chopped
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and line the bottom with one roll of crescent dough. Press the dough into the bottom to cover the dish completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough in the baking dish.
- In another bowl, toss the chopped peaches with sugar and cinnamon (if using). Layer the peach mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese filling.
- Roll out the second roll of crescent dough and place it over the peaches, sealing the edges.
- Sprinkle sugar over the top and add lemon zest if desired.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches if in season for even more flavor.
- Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts and easier serving.
- Add a drizzle of glaze or icing for extra sweetness.
