Labor Day Dessert: Cherry Cheese Cobbler

FREE Work Planner Sample!

I won’t send you any spam, ever. Promise!

I shared this recipe in May of 2010, but decided it was time to pull her back out for the Labor Day Weekend. This cobbler is plain old delicious, and I promise you’ll love it. Let me know what you think!

I’ve officially decided that it is impossible to mess up a crescent roll! Really, you can top them with ham and cheese,add butterscotch chips, mix up an appetizer, create this super-impressive Chicken Broccoli Braid, or try this fabulous Cherry Cheese Cobbler! I’m thinking this would be a great recipe to serve over ~~Memorial Day~~ Labor Day weekend, but if you’re serving a large crowd be sure to double the recipe.

Jen was sweet enough to email me this yesterday when I was looking for a yummy recipe, and it worked out perfectly because I had everything except the cherry pie filling right at home. She found it over at Southern Plate, and you really should head over there for fabulous step by step directions, but here’s what you’ll need:

Cherry Cheese Cobbler

Ingredients

1 can crescent rolls
1 21 oz. can cherry pie filling (could also try a different filling – next time I’d like to try apple filling!)
1 1/2 bricks cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar (for filling)
1/4 cup sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 stick melted butter or margarine

Directions

Heat over to 350 and grease 8×8 pan. Seperate crescent rolls into two squares (four crescents each). Beat softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar. Add vanilla and mix in. Set aside.
Layer one “square” on bottom of pan. Press out to remove seams and completely cover pan. Add cream cheese filling, then top with cherry pie filling.
Layer remaining crescent rolls (again try to press out seams as well as you can, but mine were still there!) Top with butter or margarine, and 1/4 cup sugar.
Bake in 350 oven for 35 to 45 minutes (mine took 38 minutes!)
Serve warm (my favorite) or cold (my hubby’s favorite!)

Thanks so much Jen for sending the recipe, and thanks to Southern Plate for this yummy treat! Also check out this yummy Blackberry Cobbler, Fresh Cherry Cobbler, or Blueberry Cobbler Dump Cake.
