Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 rectangles (do not separate the perforated triangles). Press the perforations together to seal.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Melt the butter and brush a thin layer evenly over each dough rectangle.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.
Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over the sugar mixture, reserving some for topping after baking.
Starting on the longer side, tightly roll up each rectangle into a log. Cut each log into 5 equal slices for a total of 20 swirls.
Place the swirls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
While the swirls bake, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
After baking, allow swirls to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then drizzle with the glaze and remaining caramel sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy!
