• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

How to Make Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   2. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, sealing the perforations.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Layer and Top:
   1. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the dough in the baking dish.
   2. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and lay it over the cheesecake mixture, carefully sealing the edges and perforations.
4. Add Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
   1. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top layer of dough.
   2. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon.
   3. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the melted butter.
5. Bake and Serve:
   1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
   2. Allow the bars to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
   3. Drizzle with honey if desired before serving.

Tips:

• Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
• Sealing Dough: Press the crescent roll dough seams together well to prevent the filling from leaking.
• Serving: These bars are best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature.
