Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Without unrolling, slice crescent dough sheet into 10 equal portions. Place crescent dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the back of a tablespoon into the center of each roll to make an indentation.

For filling, add cream cheese, white sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to a bowl, and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Dollop filling into the indentations in the rolls.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Remove Danishes from the oven. Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling containing 4 or 5 cherries into each Danish.

Return to the oven; bake until golden, about 9 minutes more.
