Make these easy pecan pie crescents for a quick holiday dessert. Flaky crescent dough wraps a sweet, gooey pecan filling, giving you the flavor of classic pecan pie in a handheld bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light or dark corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix this pecan pie filling until it is well blended.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough on the prepared baking sheet and separate it into 8 triangles.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the pecan filling mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
  5. Roll each triangle tightly toward the point, forming a crescent shape. Pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside.
  6. Brush the tops of the rolled crescents lightly with the egg wash.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving these sweet crescent roll appetizers.

Notes

  • For an extra sweet finish, drizzle the warm crescents with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk.
  • You can toast the pecans lightly before chopping them for a deeper nutty flavor.
  • These handheld pecan pie desserts are excellent served warm with vanilla ice cream.
