Liz Dotn saysOctober 29, 2018 at 1:57 amI made this but I used cherry pie filling it is so much better than sliced bread. Once you make it, you will want to make it for every holiday, birthday, because it is Saturday, or any celebration. Can you tell I love this?! Try it with your favorite filling. Reply
John Jung saysMarch 16, 2019 at 11:28 amCan I assume that when you press the dough you press it to fill out the 9 x 13 pan? Or is that part of the process when you pressed the seams to seal.Reply
Barb Ward saysApril 14, 2019 at 5:43 pmThis is a delicious version of a recipe I’ve made before. It was easier to use the Crescent Roll sheets and I used 2 cream cheese (8 oz. each). Wonderful!Reply
Byenia saysJuly 26, 2019 at 10:09 pmActually turned out pretty tasty. Used about 12 oz. of cream cheese in place of 8. Also cooked down my own fresh cherries to make the filling and used Swerve where it called for sweetener. Reply
