Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll one package of crescent roll dough and fit it into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing to cover.

Top Crust: Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and gently place it over the cream cheese layer, tucking the edges in.
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top dough layer. Mix the 1/2 cup granulated sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle it generously over the butter.
