Ingredients
-
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1/4 cup light corn syrup or honey
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
-
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or more if you love nuts)
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. -
Prepare Crescent Dough:
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Press seams gently to seal any perforations. -
Make Pecan Filling:
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, cinnamon, chopped pecans, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. -
Fill the Crescents:
Spoon about 1–2 teaspoons of the pecan mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll the dough from the wide end to the point, creating a crescent shape. -
Bake:
Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly puffed. -
Cool Slightly & Serve:
Allow rolls to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle with a little powdered sugar glaze or extra honey for added sweetness.
Notes
-
For extra gooeyness, add a teaspoon of cream cheese to the filling.
-
Toast the pecans lightly beforehand to bring out a deeper nutty flavor.
-
These rolls are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven for 5 minutes.
