2. Layer the Crescent Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread one can and a half of the dough onto the sheet, reserving the remaining half can for later use.

3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

4. Spread Cream Cheese Mixture: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of crescent dough on the cookie sheet.

5. Add Fruit Filling: Spoon your favorite fruit pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.

6. Create Lattice Topping: Take the remaining half can of crescent dough and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice design over the fruit filling, overlapping them like the top of a pie.

7. Brush with Butter: Melt the unsalted butter and brush it over the lattice dough strips and the edges of the pastry.

8. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the pastry in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is beautifully golden brown.

9. Let it Rest: Once baked, remove the pastry from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

10. Slice and Serve: After allowing it to cool slightly, slice the pastry into portions and serve.

11. Optional Variations: If you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different fruit pie fillings. Some options include peach, apple, or raspberry. Just be mindful that you may need to adjust the amount of filling depending on the fruit’s size and juiciness.

12. Enjoy Your Breakfast Delight: Whether paired with a steaming cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of milk, this Fruit and Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastry is sure to be a hit with everyone at the breakfast table. Indulge in its sweet, creamy goodness and start your day on a delicious note!

Tips:

• For added convenience, you can prepare the pastry the night before and simply bake it in the morning for a freshly baked treat without the fuss.
• If using a peach pie filling, be aware that you may need to use more than one can to ensure the top is adequately covered. The extra effort is worth it for the delicious flavor it adds!
