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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 rectangles (do not separate the perforated triangles). Press the perforations together to seal.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 4

Melt the butter and brush a thin layer evenly over each dough rectangle.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.

Step 6

Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over the sugar mixture, reserving some for topping after baking.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Place the swirls cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

While the swirls bake, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

After baking, allow swirls to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then drizzle with the glaze and remaining caramel sauce.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
