Make these easy pecan pie crescents using store-bought dough for a quick, handheld dessert that tastes like classic pecan pie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, beaten egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix this pecan pie filling until it is well combined.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the pecan filling mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. While the crescents cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl to create a simple glaze.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the warm pecan pie crescents before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark corn syrup instead of light corn syrup in the filling.
  • If you do not have pecans, walnuts make a good substitute for these buttery crescent pecan bites.
  • You can prepare these ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 12 hours before baking.
