Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line the bottom of a 13x9-inch casserole dish with 1 can of crescent roll dough. The dough can be stretched a bit to cover the bottom of the dish. If you roll it out with a rolling pin the pre-cut lines will disappear.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, 1½ cups sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the layer of crescent rolls in the baking dish.
Spread the remaining can of crescent rolls over the cream cheese layer.
Place 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and ½ cup of sugar in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top layer of crescent rolls.
Drizzle melted butter on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
