Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, stir together chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt until well combined.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Place a spoonful of pecan filling at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up tightly like a crescent roll, pinching the ends slightly to prevent filling from leaking.
Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with egg wash.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm and gooey.
