In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.

Use a sharp knife to cut 2-inch strips on each side of the sheet, leaving the center of the sheet intact.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the center of the dough sheet, then top the cream cheese with cherry pie filling.

Fold the strips over the top of the filling, crossing each side in the center to create a braided look.
