Remove crescent rolls from package and take the widest end and place toward the center of the pan, overlapping next crescent roll continuing in a circular pattern until all pieces are assembled. (It should look like a "Sun")
• 3. Once your ring is assembled, your cream cheese can now be creamed together with the sugar and vanilla.
• 4. Now, put all of cream cheese mixture all over the ring, spreading evenly.
• 5. Add the cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture.
• 6. Now, take the tips of the crescent rolls and pull across filling mixture, criss-crossing as you go all the way around. Now you are ready to bake.
• 7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• 8. Serve fresh out of the oven! Enjoy!
