Easy Crescent Cherry Cream Cheese Cobbler
This Cherry Cream Cheese Cobbler is easy to make and tastes like a luscious cheesecake in a cobbler. Your family and friends will be raving about this dish.
OHMYGOODNESS, Bill! After one bite of this I wanna marry you, too!! I don’t think I can get Ricky on board with that, though, so we’ll have to settle for me baking it for myself. ~sighs~
I haven’t been this impressed with a dessert since I first tried Butterfinger Cake nearly a decade ago. One thing that really surprised me is how the crescent rolls baked into the perfect crust. Usually when I make things with crescent rolls you can always kinda tell they were crescent rolls, but I would have never known in this. I ate waaaay too much and was grateful that it was only an 8×8 because I could happily eat the entire thing.
Next time I’m going to make it with Swerve, too!
Recipe Ingredients:
- Sugar
- Pie filling of your choice
- Vanilla
- Butter
- Cream cheese (visit this post for our easy homemade cream cheese recipe).
- Crescent rolls
Spray an 8×8 pan with cooking spray.
Take half of your crescent roll dough (four crescent rolls) and spread it out in the bottom of your pan a bit, pressing to seal.
make sure your cream cheese is good and soft and place it in a mixing bowl along with your sugar.
Mix that up until its good and creamy and then add in vanilla.
Mix again.
Spread all of this over your crescent roll dough.
Lick the spatula.
(yes, I’m making that part of the instructions)
Pour your pie filling over the top.
I like to get this premium kind sometimes because the cherries are so dark and pretty in it.
Spread that around over the top.
Top with the rest of your crescent roll dough.
Sprinkle your additional sugar over the top.
Melt your butter and pour that evenly over the top.
Like so.
Bake at 350 for thirty to forty five minutes.
Oh my goodness gracious.
You see that?
You know how you look at something and think “I wonder if that tastes as good as it looks?”.
Well no, it doesn’t. It tastes even BETTER! Especially with a little ala mode happening on the side.
Ingredients
- 1- 8 count can crescent rolls
- 1-21 ounce can pie filling of your choice I used cherry
- 1/2 Cup granulated sugar for filling
- 1/4 cup additional granulated sugar for top
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened (one and a half blocks if your blocks are 8 oz each)
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line the bottom of a greased 8x8 pan with four of the crescent rolls, spreading out to cover the bottom entirely. In large mixing bowl, place cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar. Beat until smooth and well blended. Add vanilla, beat again. Spread cheese mixture over crescent rolls in pan. Pour pie filling over top of cheese mixture and spread evenly. Top with remaining crescent roll dough. Melt butter and pour over top, sprinkle 1/4 Cup sugar over that. Bake for 30-45 minutes.

Now this really sounds like a keeper. Can’t wait to try it.
And cherries are my absolute favorite. I bet you could try any
kind of fruit in this. Blueberries, might be good.
Thanks for a wonderful recipe. And thanks for putting your new
cook book together. Can’t wait to get it.
Just love your site.
This was the BEST…I just threw it together and realized I only had 8 oz. of cream cheese and reduced the sugar a bit but mine turned out perfect…I used an odd shaped long pyrex dish that is only 6 inches wide…and maybe 9 inches long….the filling was just the right amount. I think next time, I will cook the first layer of crescent rolls and then add the cream cheese layer….mine was a bit doughy on the bottom….but the top was brown and crusty..thanks again for this great receipe
I do love this site! I try recipes from here as often as practical with the picky eater I live with. : )
I absolutely do not like cream cheese but this recipe combines just enough things I do like and I have such faith in my Southern Plate to try it! Will be back once I do tell you how it worked out!
I am back, after making the Apple version of this. It is Amazing! I honestly thought when I poured the butter over it that I had ruined it. I wish Bill could give me the secret to making the dough flatten out enough but I managed. I only used the 8 oz of cream cheese and made it in a 9×8 inch pan. It was perfect. The flavor is just right from the melt in your mouth crust to the crunch of sugar on top. Thank you so much!
Made the cherry version this weekend and oh my my!! If there is desserts served in heaven, this will surely be one of them! My only issue with it was that I used an 8×8 pan and the cream cheese literally boiled over the sides. Next time…a 9×9 or a bit larger pan should do the trick…or maybe I’ll just fix Bill’s version in a 9×13 pan.
So I gotta clean my oven, but it ‘shore nuff’ was worth it! Can’t wait to try the apple version!
Thanks again for another great recipe!
This recipe is good without any pie filling … and when I make it this way it’s called Sopapilla Cheesecake.
It’s really good made with Apple Pie Filling, or Strawberry Glaze – yum!
I made this yesterday and it’s delicious! Everyone loved it. My child ate it while it was still warm and said it reminded her of fried cheesecake.
The next time I make it, I think I’ll cut the cream cheese down to 1 8 oz pkg, and increase the cherries to two cans. I thought the cream cheese to cherry ratio was a bit high.
btw…. I also made Christy’s mac and cheese last night. Everyone loved it and said they preferred it to my usual recipe where I make a cheese sauce. That’s fine by me, because her recipe sure was a lot easier to make. LOL
Hey Christy!
I know this isn’t the place for Flat Christy ideas, but I came across something the other day and have been meaning to tell you. I found a place I thought she might like to visit if you have a reader there. It’s called Bountiful, Utah. Wouldn’t that be a perfect place for her? She’d feel right at home!
