Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the rolls
  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup Can be substituted with honey or agave syrup.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. If your dough is cold, it may be easier to work with.
  4. Place a spoonful of the pecan mixture at the wider end of each triangle. Gently roll the dough over the filling, starting from the widest part and tucking in the edges as you go.
  5. Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the crescent rolls to give them a lovely golden brown color when baked.
Baking
  1. Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them an inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes after taking them out of the oven. Serve warm and relish in the delight of your creation!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Can also freeze unbaked rolls; thaw for 30 minutes before baking.
