Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a greased cookie sheet, sealing the perforated lines to form a single large rectangle.

Beat the cream cheese mixture until it is smooth and fluffy.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the crescent roll dough.

In a small bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, sugar, and cinnamon.
-
Reserve a small handful of the nut mixture for later, then sprinkle the rest over the cream cheese layer.
-
Fold the two long ends of the dough inward over the filling, creating a log shape.
-
Sprinkle the reserved nuts over the top of the folded dough.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
