Use raw pecans for your cinnamon rolls as they will “roast” during baking. You can also vary the number of pecans to taste and chop them in varied sizes.
The caramel sauce will be extra runny if you invert the pan of baked cinnamon rolls as soon as it comes out of the oven. It is easiest to turn out the cinnamon rolls right away, but you may want to use a tray or serving dish with a rim so that the excess caramel sauce doesn’t run off the plate. Once it cools just a little bit, the caramel will thicken up.

Can I use store-bought caramel sauce for this recipe?
