Pecan Rolls
These easy caramel pecan rolls come together with just five main ingredients and no homemade dough required! Frozen cinnamon rolls are baked over a rich caramel sauce made with brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and chopped pecans. Perfect for holiday mornings or a cozy brunch, and you can prep them the night before for an effortless bake the next day.
Ingredients
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- 9 Rhodes Frozen Cinnamon Rolls unthawed
Instructions
- Line a 9” x 13” baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup.
- Spread the mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped pecans in an even layer over the top of the butter mixture.
- Add the frozen cinnamon rolls to the dish, spacing them out in a 3 x 3 pattern.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours
- The next day, take the baking dish out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the rolls to cool for about 10 minutes. Then place a large cookie sheet or platter on top of the dish and, using hot pads, quickly flip it so that the pecan mixture is on top of the rolls. Carefully remove the parchment paper. Serve warm.
Notes
Rolls are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
A glass baking dish or metal pan works best for this recipe. If you are using a ceramic dish, the baking time may need to be a little longer.
If you prefer, you can bake them the day before and then reheat them before serving. Follow the instructions through step three. Then, cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in size. This can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours at room temperature, depending on your kitchen.
Bake according to the instructions. After the rolls have cooled, cover and refrigerate. To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350℉ for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat single cinnamon rolls in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.
