Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate each can into four rectangles, ensuring to press the perforations together to seal.
-
Make the Filling: In a bowl, stir together the pecans, walnuts, sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of this mixture onto each rectangle, gently pressing it into the dough.
-
Shape the Twists: Starting from the long side, carefully roll up each rectangle and twist to create the shape. Cut six shallow diagonal slits, about ½ inch long, into each roll and shape them into rings by pressing the ends together.
-
Bake: Place the twists on a lightly greased baking dish. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for approximately 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Finish and Serve: In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and maple syrup. Drizzle this sweet mixture over the warm twists before serving.
Enjoy these delightful Pecan Crescent Twists as a perfect addition to your dessert table or as a sweet treat to brighten your brunch!
