You begin by making these sticky buns with store-bought crescent rolls.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, plus more for greasing the pan

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 1 (8-ounce) can crescent rolls

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or freshly grated nutmeg

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  3. Place butter and nuts in the pan. Heat in the oven for 2 minutes.

  4. Remove from the oven. Stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Spread mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan.

  5. Remove dough from can, but do not separate or unroll. With a serrated knife, cut into 6 large or 12 small slices.

  6. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

  7. Dip both sides of the dough in sugar mixture.

  8. Evenly space rolls in pan. Sprinkle any remaining sugar over the top of rolls.

  9. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes then cool for 1 minute.

  10. Place a plate upside down over the pan. Invert pan and plate onto a serving platter.

  11. Spoon any remaining drippings over rolls. Serve warm.
