How To Make raspberry-pecan pinwheels (jam packed pastries)

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 400^. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle a clean work surface with 1 Tbsp. of the sugar and 1/4 tsp. of the cinnamon. Unroll one pie crust, place it on the cinnamon-sugared mixture and press gently to help the mixture adhere to the crust.
  • Step 2
    Spread half the jam evenly over the crust and sprinkle half the pecans over the top. Starting at one end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Step 3
    Trim the ends of each log, then cut into 1-in. thick slices and stand them on edge on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 in. apart. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a baking rack to cool completely. Once baked, you can store them at room temp. for up to 3 days. They'll stay fresh for about 1 week.
