Step-by-Step Instructions for Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until blended.
  4. Melt unsalted butter and brush it onto each triangle of dough.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough triangles.
  6. Place a few pecan halves at the wide end of each triangle, spacing them evenly.
  7. Roll each triangle towards the tip, tucking the tip under to secure the filling.
  8. Arrange the rolled crescents on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together light corn syrup and vanilla extract for the topping.
  10. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter and drizzle with the corn syrup mixture.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
  12. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
