Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional

  • Whipped cream for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice. Stir until smooth and well blended to create a flavorful pumpkin filling.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean cutting board. Cut the dough in half to create two identical rectangles and place them side by side.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the pumpkin mixture over one of the dough rectangles, making sure to cover the surface but leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Assemble Layers: Place the second rectangle of dough on top of the first, sandwiching the pumpkin filling between the two dough layers. Align all edges carefully to seal the filling inside.
  6. Cut Strips: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into strips approximately 3/4 inch wide.
  7. Twist Strips: Transfer the strips carefully to the prepared baking sheet. Hold one end of a strip and twist it twice, then twist the other end an additional 2-3 times to create a spiral effect.
  8. Brush and Sprinkle: Generously brush each twist with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered twists.
  9. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 8 to 11 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
  10. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with whipped cream for dipping to enhance the dessert experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use refrigerated crescent dough that is fresh and not expired.
  • Pumpkin spice can be substituted with a blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if desired.
  • Make sure not to overfill the pumpkin mixture to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  • Twisting the strips tightly helps hold the filling inside during baking.
  • These twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the oven to refresh crispness.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Whipped cream adds a lovely creamy contrast but is optional.
