Description

Delicious and easy Pecan Pie Roll Ups made with buttery crescent dough filled with a sweet pecan mixture, baked to golden perfection, and topped with warm caramel sauce. These roll ups are a perfect dessert or snack that captures the flavors of classic pecan pie in a fun, handheld treat.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 packages refrigerated crescent dough

Filling

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter, melted

Topping

  • Caramel sauce (for topping)
  • Cinnamon-sugar, optional, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Separate crescent dough: Unroll the crescent dough and gently separate it into individual triangles. Using a pizza cutter helps achieve nice, even pieces for consistent roll ups.
  3. Make the pecan filling: In a bowl, stir together chopped pecans, brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until fully combined and sticky enough to hold together.
  4. Fill the crescent triangles: Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pecan filling onto the wide end of each triangle. It’s fine to use a generous amount so the filling slightly spills out when rolled for extra flavor.
  5. Roll up the dough: Starting at the wide end, gently roll each crescent dough triangle toward the pointed skinny end. Place the rolled pieces on the prepared baking sheet spaced 2 to 3 inches apart to allow for expansion.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crescent roll ups turn a golden brown color and are cooked through.
  7. Heat caramel sauce: While the roll ups bake, warm the caramel sauce slightly in the microwave or on the stovetop so it will drizzle easily over the warm pastries.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the warmed caramel sauce over the baked pie roll ups and optionally sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar for extra sweetness and a touch of crunch. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a pizza cutter to separate crescents evenly for uniform baking.
  • You can substitute caramel sauce with maple syrup or honey for variation.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the pecans lightly before mixing.
  • These roll ups are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
  • Cinnamon-sugar topping is optional but adds a nice extra layer of sweetness.
