Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon maple extract
1-3 tablespoons milk (I used heavy cream)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugars, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate each can into 4 rectangles (2 of the crescent triangles together). Firmly press together the perforations to seal the 2 crescent triangles together. You will end up with 8 rectangles of dough.
  • Brush each rectangle with some melted butter and sprinkle a heaping 1 tablespoon of the pecan/sugar mixture over the butter. Repeat for each rectangle. Starting at the long side of the rectangle, roll up tightly just like cinnamon rolls. Pinch edges to seal.
  • Take a sharp knife and cut each roll in half LENGTHWISE. You will end up with 2 rope twists from each rectangle. Take the two pieces and twist them around each other. Place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining pieces.
  • Bake for 10-13 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes before glazing.
  • To prepare the glaze: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until desired consistency is reached. Add more or less milk and/or powdered sugar depending on how thick or thin you want the glaze.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure your crescent roll dough is cold before you start working with it. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the crescent rolls. If they are too full, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
  • Bake the crescent rolls until they are golden brown and flaky. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.

Conclusion:

These maple pecan crescent cinnamon twists are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
