Ingredients

• 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie pan.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and pour the caramel sauce evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the caramel sauce in the dish.

Step 4

Lightly dust your work surface with a tablespoon of flour. Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch the seams together to form a single sheet.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sheet of dough with cinnamon, spreading it evenly over the surface. Roll the dough tightly from one short end to the other, forming a log.

Step 6

Slice the rolled dough into 6 equal pieces and place them cut-side down into the caramel-filled dish, spacing them out slightly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.

Step 8

Allow the caramel rolls to cool for 5–10 minutes before carefully inverting the baking dish onto a serving plate to release the rolls and caramel topping.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, caramel goodness!
