Ingredients

  • 1 can (12 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
  • 1 cup pecans
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch round baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and separate into 8 rolls. Arrange them in the prepared pan, leaving a little space between each.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir until smooth and bubbling, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the rolls. Sprinkle 1 cup pecans over the top, pressing them gently into the dough.

  5. 5

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the caramel is bubbling. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

  6. 6

    If the rolls came with icing, drizzle it over the top after baking. Serve warm.
