Instructions
Making Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll Out Dough: Open the tube of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Separate the dough into triangles along the perforations.
4. Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the pecan mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill.
5. Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle toward the point, enclosing the filling. Pinch the sides to seal.
6. Brush with Egg Wash: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the rolls with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
