Description

A delightful dessert that combines the classic flavors of pecan pie with flaky crescent rolls, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and the egg. Keep aside 2 tablespoons of this mixture for later.
  3. Stir the chopped pecans into the remaining sugar mixture until they are fully coated.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles on your prepared baking sheet.
  5. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pecan filling onto the widest part of each triangle, then roll them up towards the narrow end.
  6. Bake the rolls for about 8 minutes, just until they start to set.
  7. Remove them from the oven and brush each roll with the reserved sugar mixture to add a sweet glaze.
  8. Return to the oven and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until they turn lightly golden brown.
  9. Consider sprinkling a few more chopped pecans on top before serving!

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for added flair. Store in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to two months.
