Making Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Unroll the Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles.
