How To Make jam-packed pastries

• 1

  1. Heat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Sprinkle a clean work surface with 1 tbsp sugar and 1/4 cup cinnamon. Unroll one pie crust, place it on the cinnamon-sugar mixture and press gently to help mixture adhere to the crust. 3. Spread half the jam evenly over the crust and sprinkle half the pecans over the top. Starting at one end, tightly roll the dough in to a log. Repeat with remaining ingredients. 4. Trim the ends of each log, then cut into 1 in. thick slices and stand them on edge (sugared-dough-side up and down) on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2in. apart. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a baking rack to cool completely.
