Cinnamon Churro Cheesecake Bars

Cinnamon lovers are going to be very excited! Cinnamon, cheesecake and a shortcut crust…what could be better!!! This crust uses crescent rolls which bake up to be the perfect crust. These are simple to throw together and once chilled can be cut into bars. Use high quality cinnamon in this recipe as it is your show stopper! I picked some up in NYC at Chelsea Market.
