Homemade Cheese Danish

(Courtesy of Mr Food)

Ingredients:
1/3 c. chopped walnuts
1 c. sugar, divided
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 pkgs. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
12 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. butter, melted

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small bowl, combine walnuts, 1/4 c. sugar and cinnamon; set aside.  Unroll 1 can of crescent dough and press into bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, pressing seams together.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, remaining sugar and vanilla; mix well.

Carefully spread cream cheese mixture over dough.  Unroll remaining can of dough and place over the cream cheese mixture.  Pour butter evenly over dough and sprinkle with nut mixture.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Let cool before cutting.

Note~ I make a similar bar but it has eggs in it.  This is a good substitute if you don't have or don't want to use eggs.
