I am curious, has anyone put peaches or some type of fruit in this before adding the top crust? Would it affect the baking time? I have not made it yet, plan to do so soon. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Greeniebeanie22 - it is spelled DESSERT not desert. Easy way to remember is..you'd rather have a lot more s's (for dessert)!

I'm only 14 years old and I love to bake I was in the mood to bake something and found that we had a lot of crescent rolls so I just looked up a desert with them in it and I found lots of good ones but thought this one sounded the best so I make it for my family. My brother who hates almost everything tried it and loved it! I will make this again!! It's so yummy!

I have been making this recipe for years, only without the pecans. And, after placing the top layer of dough over the cream cheese, I drizzle melted butter over the dough, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, before putting in the oven. Yummy!!!
