Increase the heat and bring to a boil, without stirring. Boil until the syrup is a deep amber color (about 5 to 6 minutes). Remove the sugar from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter and salt. Transfer the caramel to a dish and cool. Top the pastries with finely chopped pecans and drizzle with caramel sauce.
