Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups pecan halves
non-stick cooking spray
1 (14 ounce) can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough, separated
¾ cup dark corn syrup
½ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cream cheese frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread pecans onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pecans are toasted and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Press the cinnamon rolls into the bottom of the pie pan, sealing edges together to create the 'crust'.
  • Whisk corn syrup and brown sugar together in a bowl until thick and sticky. Add butter and whisk until mixture is smooth. Whisks eggs, 1 at a time, into brown sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition, until eggs are fully incorporated. Stir cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt into brown sugar mixture.
  • Layer the toasted pecans over the cinnamon roll 'crust'. Pour the brown sugar mixture over pecans. Place the pie on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cover crust with pieces of aluminum foil to avoid burning.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until pie is set in the middle, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool pie for 15 minutes.
  • Place cream cheese frosting in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until frosting is thinned and pourable, about 30 seconds. Drizzle frosting over pie and set aside until frosting has slightly hardened, about 20 minutes.
