How To Make cherry cheesecake bars

• 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.
