Ingredients

1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter cake pan. Melt 2 1/2 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup sugar, corn syrup and lemon juice. Increase heat to medium and whisk until sugar melts and syrup boils. Pour syrup evenly over bottom of prepared pan. Sprinkle with walnuts.

    Step 3

    Bake buns until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan 1 minute. Place plate over pan. Invert buns onto plate. Remove pan. Spoon any syrup in pan onto buns and serve.
