Description
This cinnamon sugar pizza made with crescent rolls is the kind of easy dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell like a cozy bakery.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F

Notes
This Cinnamon Sugar Pizza Made With Crescent Rolls tastes best the day it is baked. Let the pizza cool before glazing so the cream cheese drizzle sits nicely on top. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days, and reheat slices at 350°F for 5 to 8 minutes.
