- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. - Layer the Dough:
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, stretching it to fit. - Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this filling evenly over the first layer of dough. - Add the Top Layer:
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer. Stretch it gently to cover the filling completely. - Add the Topping:
Brush the top layer of dough with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle it generously over the buttered dough. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and puffed. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the churro cheesecake to cool completely before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
