Description

These pumpkin pie twists are a delightful fall treat made with crescent roll dough, filled with a spiced pumpkin mixture, and topped with cinnamon sugar. Perfect for a quick dessert or snack, they’re even better when paired with whipped cream for dipping.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Whipped cream, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Prepare Pumpkin Filling:
    In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice until well combined.
  3. Prepare the Dough:
    Unroll the crescent dough on a cutting board. Cut it in half to create two identical rectangles and lay them side by side.
  4. Spread the Filling:
    Evenly spread the pumpkin mixture over one rectangle of dough. Place the second rectangle on top of the first, aligning the edges so that the filling is sandwiched between them.
  5. Cut and Twist the Dough:
    Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips approximately ¾ inch wide. Transfer the strips to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Twist each strip by holding one end and twisting it twice, then twisting the other end 2-3 times.
  6. Butter and Sprinkle:
    Brush the twists generously with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over each twist.
  7. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 8-11 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown.
  8. Serve:
    Let the twists cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with whipped cream for dipping if desired.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Dough Tips: Ensure that the dough is well-sealed at the edges to prevent the pumpkin filling from leaking out.
  • Custom Spice: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a stronger spice flavor.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
