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
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. - Prepare Pumpkin Filling:
In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice until well combined. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-11 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown. - Serve:
Let the twists cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with whipped cream for dipping if desired. 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.
