No-Fuss Sticky Buns

These no-fuss sticky buns use crescent roll dough for a quick and easy treat, loaded with brown sugar, buttery cinnamon filling, and crunchy pecans, then flipped to reveal a gooey caramel glaze.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar divided
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted, divided
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans divided
  • 1 8-ounce package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp melted butter, and corn syrup in a small bowl. Spread over the dish bottom and top with ½ cup pecans.
  • Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams to seal into one rectangle.
  • Brush with remaining 1 tbsp melted butter. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and ¼ cup pecans.
  • Roll tightly from the wide end. Slice into 9 even pieces.
  • Place rolls cut-side down in the dish. Bake 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden.
  • Immediately invert onto a serving plate so the sticky glaze tops each bun. Cool slightly, then serve warm.
