Pecan Pie Crescents deliver all the rich, nutty flavor of traditional pecan pie in a quick and easy handheld treat. Flaky crescent roll dough wraps around a gooey pecan filling for a cozy dessert perfect for holidays or everyday indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and pecans to form the filling.
  3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
  4. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Roll up crescents from the wide end, tucking filling in as you go; place point-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Add cinnamon to the filling for a spiced variation.
  • Swap corn syrup for maple syrup or honey.
  • Drizzle with a simple glaze (powdered sugar + milk) for extra sweetness.
  • Tuck in a small chocolate piece for a decadent twist.
  • Best served fresh, but still tasty at room temperature.
