    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and set when gently shaken.
  • Cool for at least 1 hour in the pan. Optionally, chill overnight for easier slicing, then bring to room temperature or rewarm before cutting into 12 bars.

Notes

  • Substitute puff pastry dough for the crescent dough if you want.
  • Metal pans are better at conducting heat than glass ones, so your bars will bake more uniformly and your crescent rolls will be perfectly crisp.
  • If you want a stronger cinnamon taste, add 1½ or even 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon; if you want a milder flavor, use only ¾ teaspoon.
  • To check if the sopapilla cheesecake has baked completely, gently shake the pan. If the cheesecake isn't baked long enough to set, it will wobble all over. When the center moves ever-so-slightly, you'll know that is set.
