Yammy Pecan Roll-ups

 

For me, when the weather getting cooler, there's nothing like fresh-baked goods and a hot cuppa joe to get my Sunday morning started.  Combine that with a fall veggie favorite and you have a golden day ahead of you. 

Yammy Pecan Roll-ups
(makes 36 roll-ups)

2 (8 ct.) rolls of Pillsbury crescent rolls
1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup canned yams, mashed
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

In a bowl, blend together cream cheese, mashed yams, and pumpkin pie spice.

 

Roll out each crescent roll triangle and cut in half (to make two smaller triangles each).

Spread a layer of the yam filling on each triangle. Sprinkle with pecans and roll them up.

In a shallow dish, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.

Roll each mini crescent in the cinnamon sugar and set on a prepared (lightly greased or foiled) baking sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Remove pan from oven, transfer roll-ups to a plate.  Allow to cool for a moment or two (so you don't burn your tongue on the filling) and enjoy.

Mmm mmm mmm, welcome Fall!
