Ingredients
1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
¾ cup chopped pecans
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture for brushing later.
- Stir the chopped pecans into the remaining sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the pecan filling onto the wide end of each triangle, then roll toward the narrow end.
- Bake for 8 minutes, until the rolls begin to set.
- Remove from the oven and brush each roll with the reserved sugar mixture.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving. Optionally garnish with extra chopped pecans.
Notes
Add a pinch of cinnamon to the filling for extra warmth.
Serve with vanilla ice cream for a more decadent dessert.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
