Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Then, fold in the chopped pecans.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the pecan mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Gently roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end and tucking the filling in as you go. Place each roll on the prepared baking sheet, curling the ends slightly to form a crescent shape.
