Pecan Pie Crescents

Pecan Pie Crescents

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:

Preheat & prep (Prep: 3 min)

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

Make the filling (Mix: 2 min)

In a small bowl, stir together chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla until glossy and evenly moistened.

Shape crescents (Prep: 5 min)

Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, keeping a small border.

Roll & arrange (Prep: 3 min)

Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the tip. Tuck the tip underneath and place seam-side down on the prepared sheet. Curve the ends slightly into a crescent shape.

Bake (Bake: 10 min)

Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed, golden, and the filling is bubbling at the seams.

Cool slightly (Cool: 5 min)

Let them rest on the pan for 5 minutes so the filling sets before moving to a cooling rack or serving slightly warm.
