Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a small cookie sheet or single layer cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside. Carefully unroll crescent roll dough on the parchment making sure the edges of the perforations stay close together. Pinch all perforations together to seal tightly. Your rectangle should be approximately 12″ x 8″. If using a cake pan, I recommend a separate piece of parchment paper be used to lay the dough on for ease of assembly.
Sprinkle the dough with layers of brown sugar, cinnamon, dried cranberries, nuts and the 1 Tablespoon of grated orange peel.
Starting from the long side, roll up keeping filling inside dough and pinching to seal.
Cut into 1 inch pieces.
Place rolls on the cookie sheet or in the cake pan leaving an inch between each. Bake the rolls approximately 13-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Ovens may vary so start checking at the earliest time. Remove from the oven and prepare the glaze.
Orange Glaze
Mix the powdered sugar, orange juice and orange peel in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.
