COFFEE CAKE RECIPE 
2 cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls or any brand of pre-made crescent dough
7 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. chopped almonds
1/2 c. chopped cherries
1 tsp. vanilla extract or water
2 tbsp. sugar

Crust: Unroll the crescent dough into two rectangles and pinch closed all perforations. Overlap the two rectangles to form one middle section with two "wings" on either side. Cut the "wings" into one inch strips.

Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese and sugar until blended. Add almonds, cherries and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Place filling down the middle section of the dough and fold "wing" strips across each other to form a braid. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
