Time 35m

Yield 8 rolls, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon maple extract
2 -3 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375. Lightly grease 1 large or 2 small cookie sheets. In small bowl, combine pecans, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Seperate dough into 8 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. Brush each rectangle with butter. Sprinkle 1 T. sugar mixture evenly over each rectangle, pressing in lightly. Starting at longer side, roll up each rectangle, pinching edges to seal. With sharp knife, cut 1 roll in half lengthwise, forming 2 strips. With cut side up, carefully overlap strips 2 times to form twist. Press ends together to seal. Place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with reamining dough.
  • Sprinkle with remaining sugar nut mixture.
  • Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. In small bowl, blend all glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm.

Overall, I thought these twists were just okay. They're not something I would make again.

These twists were a bit too time-consuming to make. I would probably look for a simpler recipe next time.

I found these twists to be a bit dry. I would add a little butter or milk to the dough next time.

These twists are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would cut the amount of maple syrup in half next time.

I like to drizzle these twists with a little extra maple syrup before serving. It makes them even more decadent.

I love that these twists can be made ahead of time. I can make them the night before and then just pop them in the oven in the morning.

These twists are a great way to use up leftover crescent roll dough. I always have a few cans in my fridge, so I can make these twists at a moment's notice.
