Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Crescent Rolls sound delicious, look delicious, and smell delicious while they are baking; and they ARE delicious.  Make plenty because there will be no leftovers of this decadent breakfast.

For me to make cinnamon rolls, they have to be super easy.  I consider myself more of a cooker rather than a baker.  If the recipe calls for yeast, I’m not baking it.  I want only quick and easy recipes.  I guess you could call me a lazy baker.  I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I decided I wanted cinnamon rolls but did not want to make the dough from scratch.  I had a can of Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated seamless dough sheet in the refrigerator, and decided to use those to make cinnamon rolls.

However, I did not want regular cinnamon rolls.  If I’m going to cheat on my diet, I want it to be worth it.  Do you know what I mean? So I don’t want just any cinnamon rolls.  I want decadent, over-the-top outrageously delicious cinnamon rolls!  So I added a caramel sauce to drizzle over the top and added chopped pecans!  Easy and outrageously delicious!  It is almost like candy.

Give these a try tomorrow morning and see if you agree that they are outrageously, over-the-top delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) can Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
  • 1/2 cup butter softened (divided)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Roll out the crescent sheets flat on a piece of parchment paper.
  • Spread half of the softened butter (1/4 cup or 1/2 a stick) on the top of the entire crescent sheet.
  • Sprinkle sugar evenly over the top of the crescent sheet, and then do the same with the cinnamon.
  • Starting with the short end, roll the crescent sheet until it is rolled into a long tube. Then cut the crescent tube across into 8 evenly sized slices, making 8 cinnamon rolls.
  • Place cinnamon rolls, cut side down, into an 8" round baking pan.
  • Bake for about about 20 minutes in a preheated oven until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown on the edges. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the caramel topping. Place 1/4 cup (or 1/2 stick) of butter into a saucepan over low heat, melting the butter.
  • Stir in the brown sugar until melted. Pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously until thickened, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Watch closely so it does not burn.
  • Pour the caramel sauce over the cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
