Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

Coat a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent rolls into the prepared baking dish, pinching the seams together to form a crust.

Step 4

In a bowl, add the cream cheese, the granulated sugar, and the vanilla extract and beat to combine.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon over the cream cheese mixture layer.

Step 7

Pour the cherry pie filling over the brown sugar-cinnamon layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cake mix over the cherry filling layer.

Step 9

Arrange the butter slices sporadically over the cake mix layer.

Step 10

Top the butter layer with the remaining cinnamon.

Step 11

Bake until it is cooked through, about 1 hour. If you're worried about the bottom burning, wrap a piece of aluminum foil under the baking dish.

Step 12

Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 13

Serve.
