Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pinching any seams together to form a smooth crust.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly before whisking in the vanilla extract and egg.
Mix in the flour until smooth, then fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the crescent dough crust in the baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or rectangles to serve.
