Description

These Easy Pumpkin Pie Twists are a deliciously simple fall treat using flaky crescent roll dough filled with a spiced pumpkin mixture, twisted into crispy, golden strips and topped with cinnamon sugar. Perfect for a festive breakfast, snack, or dessert, they come together quickly and pair wonderfully with whipped cream for dipping.

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 cinnamon

Optional

  • Whipped cream for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Pumpkin Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board, then cut it in half to create two identical rectangles placed side by side.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the pumpkin mixture over one of the two rectangles of dough, covering the entire surface.
  5. Sandwich Dough: Place the second rectangle of dough carefully on top of the first one so the pumpkin mixture is sandwiched between the two layers, making sure edges align perfectly.
  6. Cut Dough into Strips: Use a pizza cutter to slice the sandwich dough into strips about 3/4 inch wide for twisting.
  7. Arrange Strips: Transfer the strips onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Twist Strips: Twist each strip by holding one end and twisting it twice, then holding the other end and twisting it an additional 2 to 3 times to create an attractive spiral shape.
  9. Brush with Butter: Generously brush melted butter over each twisted strip to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
  10. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Mix together the sugar and cinnamon, then evenly sprinkle this mixture over the buttered twists for a sweet finishing touch.
  11. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 8 to 11 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use chilled crescent roll dough for easier handling when twisting.
  • Ensure the edges of dough layers are well aligned to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven’s performance, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra indulgence.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
