PECAN SWEET ROLL RINGS

Category: Quick Breads

2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
4 tbsp butter, melted, divided
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup

Unroll crescent dough and separate into eight rectangles; seal perforations. Brush with 2 tbsp butter. Combine the pecans, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well.

Sprinkle 1 tbsp over each rectangle; gently press into dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting at a long side. Pinch seams to seal. Twist two or three times. Cut six shallow diagonal slits in each roll. Shape each into a ring; pinch ends together.

Place on a greased baking sheet; brush with remaining butter. Bake at 375 for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Combine confectioners sugar and syrup until smooth; drizzle over the warm rolls.
