Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 2 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • cup raisins
  • cup golden raisins
  • 2 8-ounce tubes Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dough sheets
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
  • When butter is fully melted, add the brown sugar and corn syrup and whisk until smooth.
  • Remove from the heat and pour into a 9-inch deep pie plate, baking dish or cake pan. Sprinkle with the pecans and raisins.
  • Unroll crescent dough. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle each sheet of crescent dough evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Starting at the longer side, roll each portion, jelly-roll style. Cut each roll into seven even slices. Place cut side down in the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, until golden brown. If buns begin to brown too quickly lightly tent with foil.
  • Cool in pan for one minute before inverting onto serving platter. Serve warm.

Notes

  • I used two tubes of the Pillsbury crescent roll sheet dough. If you can only find the roll dough then just pinch your seams and roll out.
  • I place my pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet so if the buns bubble over no obscenties are yelled when the mixture burns at the bottom of my oven. Nobody wants to hear that.
  • I used a combination of regular and golden raisins, but you could use all regular or golden if you'd like.
  • I'm a huge pecan fan, but you could also use walnuts for this recipe.
