Ingredients

Quantity	Ingredient
2	tablespoons butter
6	tablespoons pecans
1/2	cup walnuts
1/4	cup sugar
1	teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2	teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2	cup powdered sugar
2	tablespoons maple syrup

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.
