Description
A simple recipe for crescent rolls filled with a sweet pecan pie mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
- Spoon about one teaspoon of the pecan filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can increase the cinnamon slightly if you prefer a stronger spice flavor.
- For a glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk and drizzle over the warm rolls.
