Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Unroll one tube of crescent dough and press it into the bottom of your prepared 9x13 inch pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crescent dough crust.
Unroll the second tube of crescent dough and place it over the cheesecake layer, sealing the edges.
Melt your butter and brush it over the top layer, then mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it on top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and filling is slightly jiggly in the center.
Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
