It was lovely! I read all the reviews, and decided to do something different with the bottom crust of crescent rolls. I placed Parchment paper (Dollar Tree carries it) sprayed it lightly, placed the crescents as instructed, THEN I beat a whole egg and “painted” the top of the bottom crust, added the filling, top crust i also painted with egg and topped with the sugar. Perfect! Glazed and shiny top, nice crisp bottom. Why? the Egg COOKS and makes a Moisture barrier between the filling and the bottom crust. I do this will All MY fruit filled pies, any pie actually, unless it is a refrigerator pie, of course!
I thought these were very good. I love the lemon flavor. I would recommend this recipe to my friends and family.
Delightfully refreshing! Couldn’t be easier to make. I made only a half recipe in an 8 x 8 pan. I won’t make that mistake again.

cooking spray
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough (such as Pillsbury(R) Recipe Creations(R)), divided

Mix the zest of 1 1/2 lemons and juice from 2 lemons together in a bowl. Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar into lemon zest mixture using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; spread over crescent roll dough layer.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and layer over cream cheese mixture, gently stretching dough to the edges. Brush melted butter over crescent roll dough layer. Mix remaining lemon zest and 3 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl; sprinkle over butter.
