The stress of baking a fresh pecan pie on Thanksgiving is unnecessary—these bites are here to save the day. Skip the hassle of making a pie crust, and use refrigerated crescent dough to make these adorable bite-sized treats. Crescents provide a buttery flaky crust for the classic pecan pie filling (you won't even miss the pie crust). These bites also come together in just around an hour and are so simple to whip together with very little forethought, making your hectic Thanksgiving day that much easier.

If you want to make these bites the night before, simply prep and keep in the fridge until you're ready to bake the next day. Looking for more crescent bites for your holiday? Our cranberry brie bites are a classic appetizer we love to serve at every holiday spread.
