Pecan Pie Crescents

 

Flaky, golden crescent rolls wrapped around a gooey, nutty pecan pie filling — all the flavors of the classic dessert in an easy handheld treat. 

Ingredients: 

1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tbsp corn syrup (light or dark)

1 tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, mix pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.

3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.

4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pecan mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.

5. Roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
