Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Melt a couple of tablespoons of unsalted butter and brush each triangle of dough with it.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over each triangle.
  6. Place a few pecan halves at the wide end of each triangle.
  7. Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle toward the pointed tip.
  8. Position the rolled crescent dough on your prepared baking sheet.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup and vanilla extract.
  10. Using the remaining melted butter, brush the tops of each crescent roll.
  11. Transfer your baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  12. Once baked, allow the Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls to cool for about 5 minutes.
