Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray, for coating the loaf pan
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Two 8-ounce cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
All-purpose flour, if needed, for rolling
6 tablespoons caramel sauce
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch glass loaf pan with cooking spray. Mix together the sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl.
  • Unroll the dough from each can and stack them on top of each other to make a double layer of dough. Press them together and roll the dough into a 12-inch square. Spread 4 tablespoons of the caramel evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the spiced sugar over the caramel, then sprinkle the pecans in an even layer, gently pressing them into the dough. Cut the dough into 16 small squares. Stack 4 of the squares on top of each other and repeat so you have 4 stacks of 4. Place each stack on its side in the prepared loaf pan (it should look like a row of books). Gently separate the dough layers so the dough fills up the pan. Sprinkle any pecan mixture that fell out over top of the dough.
  • Cover the loaf pan with foil and bake until golden brown and puffed, about 50 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons caramel sauce before serving.

APPLE-PECAN PULL-APART ROLLS



Apple-Pecan Pull-Apart Rolls image

Store-bought apple butter pulls double duty in these marvelous morning buns: it's spread onto the dough before rolling, and it's simmered with brown sugar and butter for the sticky-sweet glaze. Toasted pecans and dried currants scattered throughout add just the right amount of texture.

Time 13h35m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room-temperature, for bowl and dish
1 medium russet potato (8 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (1 1/4 cups)
1 cup whole milk
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (not rapid-rise; one whole 1/4-ounce envelope)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
3 1/2 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons apple butter, such as Red Jacket Orchards
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup dried currants or chopped raisins
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Dough: Brush a large bowl with butter; set aside. Place potato in a small pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes; drain. Pass through a ricer or mash with a fork until smooth (to yield 2/3 cup); let cool slightly.
  • Heat milk until warm to the touch (110 degrees on a thermometer). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer; add yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter, granulated sugar, potato, egg, flour, and salt until a ragged dough forms. Place bowl on mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment; mix on medium-low speed, scraping sides and removing dough from hook a few times, until soft and pliable, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead into a ball. Transfer to buttered bowl (dough will be very soft) and cover with plastic wrap. (Dough can be covered and refrigerated at this point up to 2 days). Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Brush two 8-inch cake pans with butter; set aside.
  • Filling: In a bowl, stir together butter and apple butter. In another bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Punch down dough; transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll out to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with butter mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border on far long edge; top with brown-sugar mixture, pecans, and currants. Starting at long edge closest to you, roll dough away from you into a tight jelly-roll shape. Transfer, seam-side down, to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Trim ends, then cut roll crosswise into twelve 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds with a serrated knife. Arrange, cut-sides up, in prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove rolls from refrigerator and place in a warm spot until almost doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove plastic and bake until browned on top and a thermometer inserted registers about 210 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack, 10 minutes.
  • Glaze: Meanwhile, heat brown sugar, butter, apple butter, and 1 tablespoon water in a saucepan over medium, stirring, until simmering; cook 1 minute. Drizzle over rolls; let cool at least 20 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for these rolls. If you're using store-bought apples, make sure they're crisp and not bruised.
  • Peel and dice the apples finely: This will help them to cook evenly and distribute their flavor throughout the rolls.
  • Use a variety of apples: Using a mix of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady, will give your rolls a complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the rolls tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough will rise best in a warm place, such as a sunny window or next to a warm oven.
  • Bake the rolls until they're golden brown: The rolls are done baking when they're golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Apple pecan pull-apart rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tangy filling, these rolls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or dessert, give these rolls a try!
