Ingredients
Method

- Roll the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams together to create a single sheet. Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the dough.

- Bake: Place rolls into a greased 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 375°F for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Make the Glaze: While the rolls bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Simmer until thick and glossy.
- Glaze and Serve: Pour the warm pecan glaze over the rolls right after baking. Serve warm and enjoy!
