Little Apricot Appetizer Tarts

2 (8 oz.) cans Pillsbury refrigerated
garlic butter crescent dinner rolls
1 c. finely shredded pepper jack cheese
1/4 c. apricot preserves
1/4 c. chopped pecans

Heat oven to 375º. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with non-stick spray. Unroll each can of dough into a large rectangle, (press edges together to seal). Cut each rectangle into 12 strips about 1 inch wide. Press each strip into muffin cup, pressing dough to cover bottom and sides, making sure all seams are sealed and forming 1/4 inch rim above cup. Spoon 2 tsp. cheese into each cup, top with 1/2 tsp. preserves and 1/2 tsp. pecans. Bake 14-20 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm.
