Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9 by 13 inch pan with nonstick spray.

Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the pan.

In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and granulated sugar with a handheld electric whisk until well incorporated.

Add sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the pan.

Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough and place it over the cream cheese layer, sealing the edges as best as possible.

Mix cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle evenly over the top layer of dough.

Drizzle melted butter over the cinnamon-sugar topping.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center looks set.

Let cool on the counter for 20-25 minutes, then refrigerate until completely cool before cutting into bars.
