In need of a quick holiday breakfast? This easy crescent-based Apple Pecan Pie Breakfast Ring stuffed with apples and pecan pie filling is sure to get you excited for the deliciousness to come!
Panic mode has set in in my overworked brain, y’all.
Thanksgiving is in just over two weeks, and I am SO unprepared.
Generally, Mr. Crumby and I spend the day with what is essentially our second family – my best friend, her boyfriend, brother, parents, and a smattering of other friends.
She and her mom have most of the meal covered, and we are usually responsible for providing desserts (obviously), appetizers, and sometimes a rib roast if hubs is feeling the chef vibe.
Thanksgiving is always a super-relaxed affair, since it’s we take vacation at that time every year!
JUST TAKE ME TO THE APPLE PECAN PIE BREAKFAST RING ALREADY!

Someone wise once told me (after hearing it somewhere else) that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That may be true for health reasons, but I think that, depending on what you eat, it also sets you along the path that you’ll follow all day.
Eat oatmeal if you want to stay focused.
Eat bacon if you’re planning on being charming (since everyone loves bacon – I’m looking at you, lawyers.)
If you just want to be happy? I think that calls for coffee cake.
It may not be the most nutritious breakfast, but it’s bound to make you smile! Especially if it tastes like a tasty hybrid of two favorite holiday pies.
This breakfast treat is super easy to throw together, too!
Plus it can be ready to tear apart in about a half hour…depending on how fast you can chop apples and unroll a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls.
Meaning you can whip it up on November 26th, before anyone even wakes up, including the birds.

Apple Pecan Pie Breakfast Ring
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup apples diced
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 2 cans Crescent Rolls I used Pillsbury Original
- Caramel sauce for garnish
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan set over medium-low heat.
- Add sugars and stir until combined and dissolved, then add in egg, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add apples and pecans and toss to coat.
- Allow ingredients to come to a boil, stirring to avoid sticking. Boil for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pop and unroll cans of Crescents, arranging the bases of the triangles of dough in a 4-inch circle on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Overlapping will happen, and that's OK!
- Spoon filling on the wide ring, leaving ½-inch of space between the filling and inside of the ring.
- Fold each triangle point over the filling and tuck under dough to form a ring (the filling might be visible.)
- Brush with egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, whisked together), if desired, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool 3-5 minutes, then drizzle with caramel, move to serving platter, and enjoy!
