  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.  Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press into a greased 9X13 pan, pressing together the seams.  Spread cream cheese mixture into pan.  Unroll 2nd can of crescent roll dough and form into a 9X13 rectangle (on waxed paper) then lay on top of cream cheese mixture in pan.
  3. Drizzle melted butter over the top of the cheesecake.  Stir the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the cinnamon then sprinkle over the cheesecake.

This is one of the few cheesecake sopapilla recipes that uses three packages of cream cheese, but it is just so so yummy.  This is the first recipe that I tried and it’s the only recipe I have tried.
