Step-by-Step Instructions for Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons for brushing.
  • Stir in chopped pecans to the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Unroll the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls on the prepared baking sheet, separating the dough into triangles.
  • Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling onto the widest end of each triangle and roll it up, sealing at the seam down.
  • Bake for 8 minutes until they begin to set slightly.
  • Brush with reserved sugar mixture and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly, then optionally sprinkle with additional chopped pecans before serving.

Notes

Chill the dough before baking for optimal flakiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
