Desserts to Die for:
Peachy Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
By Sydney Hill
So here's the story, this dessert is really amazing! At least from what I can tell.
I had a stone that someone, trying to fix the mistake of washing it in soap, rubbed with oil. It was a great idea, except for that I didn't get around to using it for a while. When I pulled it out, I smelled rancid oil. Oops. So, I tried something that would use crescent rolls (as I heard that might help), and I came across this recipe.
As it was cooking, the smell of that bad oil filled the house. Anyway, I decided to brave it and try the food anyway. I popped it in my mouth and I was so excited! It tasted delicious! However, to my dismal dismay, I popped another piece in my mouth after it cooled and all I could taste was the bad oil.
So, before the stone's flavoring took over, I had a delicious dessert that I was so sad to throw out. I can't wait to make it again.
And I'm afraid the stone might have to be retired. If anyone has an idea to fix it, you would be an angel to share it. I scrubbed and rubbed with baking soda, letting the baking soda sit for days, to no avail. I'm afraid it's toast and will toast no more.
Okay, here's the recipe that tastes really good! (if you don't use a stone that's covered in rancid oil!)

2 (8-ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls

(I didn't make it look as pretty as the picture. I just rolled it out in a rectangle. You don't always have to make things to impress and it took a lot less time! )I also put brown sugar on it before cooking.
I got the recipe from a Pampered Chef Cookbook, but used one I found online that substitutes the names of the kitchen utensils with regular names (example: Classic Batter Bowl to bowl)
