Step-by-Step Instructions for Pecan Pie Crescent Rolls
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and the large egg. Mix well until fully blended.
  3. Fold in the chopped pecans into your filling mixture. Stir gently until all the nuts are evenly coated.
  4. Unroll the Pillsbury crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of pecan filling onto the widest end of each triangle and roll towards the narrow end.
  5. Place the assembled rolls onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes until they set slightly.
  6. Remove from the oven and brush the reserved filling over the top of each roll.
  7. Return the rolls to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Allow the rolls to cool for a few moments and serve warm.
