- 23 cup pecans (or nuts of choice)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing dish
- 12 cup packed golden brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Agave
- 1 -2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- flour, for dusting
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 14 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- one 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent dinner roll
- 18 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Place the nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until fragrant and light golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool.
- Finely chop nuts and set aside.
- Lightly butter a 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie dish.
- Place 2 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until melted.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, agave and lemon juice.
- Pour the butter and sugar mixture into the prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle 1/3 cup toasted nuts evenly over the syrup in the dish and set aside.
- Mix the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Gently unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured work surface and firmly press and pinch the perforations together to make a solid piece of dough.
- Roll out the dough to a 12-by-9-inch rectangle using a lightly floured rolling pin.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough to within 1/2-inch of the edges.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup nuts on top.
- Starting at one short side, roll up the dough jelly roll-style.
- Cut the roll crosswise into 8 to 10 rounds, each about 1-inch-wide, using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the rounds, cut-side down, atop the syrup in the pie dish, with 6 around the edges of the dish and 2 in the center.
- Pinch open ends together with fingertips to prevent the rolls from unraveling.
- Cover and chill.
- Can be prepared 2 hours ahead.
- Bake the rolls until deep golden brown on top and the juices are brown and bubbling around the edges of the dish, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls stand 1 minute.
- Place a platter atop the pie dish and the invert rolls onto the platter.
- Sprinkle the rolls lightly with the sea salt flakes.
- Cool the rolls for 10 to 20 minutes and serve while still warm.
