These Pecan Pie Crescents are a delightful twist on classic pecan pie, with a buttery, flaky crust and a sweet, nutty filling. Perfect for a cozy dessert or a special treat!

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)

Filling:

  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp corn syrup (light or dark)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat & prep (Prep: 3 min) – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the filling (Mix: 2 min) – In a small bowl, stir together chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla until glossy and evenly moistened.
  3. Shape crescents (Prep: 5 min) – Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, keeping a small border.
  4. Roll & arrange (Prep: 3 min) – Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the tip. Tuck the tip underneath and place seam-side down on the prepared sheet. Curve the ends slightly into a crescent shape.
  5. Bake (Bake: 10 min) – Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed, golden, and the filling is bubbling at the seams.
  6. Cool slightly (Cool: 5 min) – Let them rest on the pan for 5 minutes so the filling sets before moving to a cooling rack or serving slightly warm.

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
