Preheat the waffle maker. Roll out the crescent dough sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Pour the mixture over the crescent roll dough and smooth it out evenly.
Sprinkle the pecans over the top of the dough evenly. Roll the dough tightly from the shorter end to the other side. Cut into equal parts to make 8 pieces. Lightly grease the waffle iron, add the pinwheels and close the top. Cook for 5 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.
Notes
If you want to go even simpler you can use a container of refrigerated cinnamon rolls.
These are able to be frozen, see my tips above.
You can top these with anything that you like, fruit, chocolate chips, peanut butter, the possibilities are endless.
You can also stuff with other things such as some of the items above other than pecans.
You can easily double this recipe to make more.
Make sure you preheat your waffle iron before putting these on so they cook evenly.
