Instructions: Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl; toss well. Spoon mixture into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Unroll the crescent roll dough, and separate the dough along perforations into triangles; cut each triangle in half. Remove the nectarine mixture from oven, and arrange the dough on top of hot nectarine mixture (the dough will not cover entire surface). Lightly coat top of dough with cooking spray, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned.

Remove from oven; gently press crust into nectarine mixture with a spoon, allowing juices to moisten top of crust. Sprinkle Sugared Pecans over crust, and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1
cup).
