Cherry Cheese Coffee Cake

Ingredients

• 1 package cream cheese, softened (8oz)
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 egg, separated
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
• 2 packages. refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 cup canned cherry pie filling

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tsp. milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For coffee cake, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg yolk and vanilla in large bowl; mix until smooth. Set aside. Unroll crescent dough; set aside 2 rectangles.

Separate remaining dough into 12 triangles; arrange on greased 14 inch pizza pan with points toward the center. Pat our dough with fingers to cover pan, pressing seams together to seal. Using 3 inch biscuit cutter, cut out center of circle; discard.

Spread cream cheese mixture over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges; top with pie filling. Pat out reserved dough with fingers to form 7x6 inch rectangle; cut lengthwise into 12 strips. Twist strips; place in spoke-like fashion over filling. Brush strips with lightly beaten egg white.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; cool slightly.

For glaze, stir together powdered sugar and milk in small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over coffee cake. 12 servings.
