A few weeks back Brother Bill Gentry guest posted for me on Southern Plate. Everyone has raved so much about his recipe and Bill himself has always told me he’s gotten marriage proposals out of it, so it got the better of me and I just had to make it. I was a little scared, though, because I had heard such amazing reviews. I didn’t want to be alone with too much of it! So I halved the recipe and made an 8×8 pan and seeing as how I was in such a cherry mood, I switched the pie filling from apple to cherry, which is what Bill said I could do. (Isn’t it cute when I pretend to ask permission from ya Bill?)

OHMYGOODNESS, Bill! After one bite of this I wanna marry you, too!! I don’t think I can get Ricky on board with that, though, so we’ll have to settle for me baking it for myself. ~sighs~

I haven’t been this impressed with a dessert since I first tried Butterfinger Cake nearly a decade ago. One thing that really surprised me is how the crescent rolls baked into the perfect crust. Usually when I make things with crescent rolls you can always kinda tell they were crescent rolls, but I would have never known in this. I ate waaaay too much and was grateful that it was only an 8×8 because I could happily eat the entire thing.

  1. Yum!! It is B-day weekend at our house but I am gona have to make this in a week or so! I plan on blueberry though!!

  2. I’m gonna ask you a dumb question…Can I subsyitute the sugar with
    the Great Value no calorie sweetner? Sorry, I warned you that it is dumb buy I’m just getting into this cooking thing…

    1. No dumb questions here, Lee! Thats my rule and I’m enforcing it 🙂
      I believe what you are talking about is called “Altern” and it is Wal Mart’s version of Splenda. I use it all of the time and love the stuff. You absolutely can substitute it in this recipe. The only thing I would do differently (and trust me, if I don’t sound like a broken record saying this to you now I will the more you read) is that you need to use just a hair less than the recipe calls for. So if a recipe calls for 1/2 of a cup, scoop out 1/2 cup of Splenda (or generic Splenda) and make sure you don’t pack it, light and fluffy, then take out a tablespoon or two. You always want to use just a little less than the recipe calls for to avoid the artificial sweetener taste.

      I’m going to make this with Splenda next time, too!

      Gratefully,
      Christy 🙂

    2. Lee, Yes but as Christy taught us.. use a little less sweetener than you would sugar. I would leave out about two table spoons sugar or more. You can always taste the cream cheese and sweetener mixture as you go. Put in a bit at a time until it’s right for you and remember the pie filling will have sugar in it unless you use the sugar free type.

      1. Hah.. I thought Christy was going to be away from the computer so I answered too. See how well she has taught me? She only had to use 3 boxes of dog treats to do it…

  3. I am makin this tonight with blueberry. It’s my hubby’s favorite fruit. After he eats it I’m gonna ask him to carry the 10 cinder blocks I bought at habitat to the backyard to raise up my swimming pool garden. Thanks Bill and Christy for the inspiration!

  4. God is my witness I just walked by the refrigerator and thought…now what can I do with those crescent rolls?!!!! If that ain’t fate talking, it must be the Good Lord….I MUST MAKE THESE!!! Thank you so much!

      1. Felt the same way! I’m cleaning out the fridge to move my office. This will go out in the Angel Food Recipes flyer for June!With all the flooding here, I will have plenty of takers on this offering. I think they are getting tired of bologna sandwiches and this will be a treat when made.

        1. Cheryl, since you were talking about the flooding, you must be in TN, where? I’m in Fairview.

  5. Yes, I’m glad you asked permission. of course I knew it would mean bodily harm if I’d said no.. HAH!

    As far as that song goes.. I have had many women sing it to me over the years.. I mean.. I really can’t blame them. If I were a woman, I’d sing it to me too. I’m really too awesome for words. *snicker

    Love ya sistah.. thanks for making my day. Especially since the A/C repairman just left because he can’t fix anything because of the rain.

    1. Oh lawdy Brother Bill, I’m shuddering at the very thought of not having ac on a day like this. Thank goodness it isn’t august! Thank you for always being such a good sport and making so many folks laugh. We love you!

      1. Heh.. It’s pouring rain here and the air is very cool. They came out quickly because of my dad’s age. Thing is..he shivers if it gets below 80 degrees. I’M the one that they will find dead in a puddle.

        1. LOL… so funny.

          I’m a firm believer that a good Southern cook can whip up anything as long as she’s got cream of mushroom soup in the pantry and a can of crescent rolls in the fridge! 🙂
