Ingredients
1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)
⅓ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until sticky and combined.
Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end, tucking in filling as you go. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling slightly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm. (Optional: dust with powdered sugar.)
Notes
Add mini chocolate chips for “turtle” crescents.
Swap some brown sugar with maple syrup for richer flavor.
Drizzle with glaze for extra sweetness.
Add nutmeg or allspice for festive spice.
Make bite-sized versions by cutting triangles in half.
Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or microwave.
