Ingredients
Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re on your way to making magic in the kitchen:
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey as a substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Feel free to swap maple syrup with honey if you have it on hand, or add a dash of nutmeg for a little extra warmth.
Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to create these delectable rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well-blended and sticky.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the pecan mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Gently roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and working towards the tip. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the sweet, nutty aroma that fills your kitchen!
A little tip from my kitchen to yours: if you find the filling spilling out as you roll, simply tuck it back in or adjust the amount until you get the perfect balance.
