- Preheat oven to 350°; line rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Unroll 1 pizza crust on prepared pan; press into 10 x 14-inch rectangle. With short end of crust facing down, starting at top center of crust, use sharp knife or pizza wheel to trim the long sides of the crust into a triangle; from dough scraps, cut 2 (1-inch) squares for "tree trunk." Place 1 "trunk" piece at bottom of triangle. In small bowl, stir cream cheese and cranberry sauce; spread over pizza crust, and sprinkle with brown sugar and almonds.
- Place large piece of parchment paper on work surface; unroll remaining pizza crust on parchment paper, press into 10 x 14-inch rectangle and trim into same size triangle. Flip crust over onto almonds and gently remove parchment paper; place remaining "trunk" piece over first "trunk." In small bowl, stir granulated sugar and cinnamon; brush tree with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.
- Starting 1 inch from bottom, outer edges of tree, use paring knife to make cut toward center of tree, leaving a 1-inch section in the center for the trunk; move upward from the base, making cuts every 1 1/2 inches. Gently twist each section; bake 23 minutes or until golden brown.
