In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Next unroll the crescent sheet out onto your baking sheet (use parchment paper if you have it or spray with non stick spray.)
Cut the crescent dough into eight equal squares and press the seams together.
Then add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each crescent square. Fold the corners of the square in and slightly pinch them together.
Spoon some of the cherry pie filing on top and bake at 375 degrees F for about 12 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden.
