Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and one egg until well-blended. Reserve 2 tablespoons for glazing.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped pecans to coat them evenly.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough, separate into triangles, and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling at the wide end. Roll towards the pointed end.
  5. Place rolls on the baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes until set and slightly golden.
  6. After 8 minutes, brush with reserved sugar mixture and bake for an additional 5 minutes until tops are caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and sprinkle with additional chopped pecans before serving warm.
