These Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls are a delightful twist on traditional pecan pie, featuring flaky crescent roll dough filled with a rich, buttery pecan pie filling. Quick and easy to prepare, they offer a perfect bite-sized treat with the comforting flavors of pecan pie in every roll.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 8 rolls

Ingredients

For the Dough and Filling

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the chopped pecans, packed brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and the optional cinnamon if you want a spiced touch. This mixture will provide the sweet, rich pecan pie flavor inside your rolls.
  3. Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the packaging instructions to get ready for filling.
  4. Fill the Rolls: Place a small spoonful of the pecan pie filling on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Be careful not to overfill to avoid leaking during baking.
  5. Roll the Crescent Rolls: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle up towards the pointed tip, enclosing the filling inside. Gently tuck the edges if needed to secure the filling.
  6. Bake: Arrange the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the rolls to cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then serve warm for a comforting treat.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the filling for extra warmth and spice.
  • Ensure not to overfill the rolls to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to avoid sticking and facilitate cleanup.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
  • For a nuttier texture, toast the pecans lightly before mixing them into the filling.
