Pecan Pie Crescents

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until sticky and well mixed.
3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
4. Spoon a small amount of the pecan filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
5. Roll up the crescents, starting from the wide end and gently tucking the filling inside as you roll.
6. Place the crescents on the baking sheet with the pointed ends tucked underneath.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
8. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Variations :

• Add mini chocolate chips to the filling for a chocolate-pecan twist.
• Swap cinnamon for nutmeg for a warmer spice profile.
• Use chopped walnuts instead of pecans if needed.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce after baking for extra decadence.

Tips :

• Do not overfill the crescents—too much filling can leak during baking.
• Let crescents cool a few minutes so the filling sets slightly before serving.
• Line the pan well, as some filling may bubble out while baking.
• These are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated briefly in the oven.
