Pumpkin Pie Twists

A quick and easy fall treat using refrigerated crescent roll dough filled with a spiced pumpkin mixture, twisted and baked to golden perfection. Perfect served with whipped cream for dipping.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Unroll crescent dough on a cutting board. Cut the dough in half to form two identical rectangles and lay them side by side.
  4. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over one rectangle of dough.
  5. Place the second rectangle of dough on top of the first, lining up all edges to sandwich the pumpkin mixture.
  6. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips about 3/4 inch wide.
  7. Transfer the strips to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Twist each strip by picking up one end and twisting it twice, then picking up the other end and twisting it 2-3 times.
  9. Brush each twist generously with melted butter.
  10. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle evenly over the twists.
  11. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Remove from oven and serve warm with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Chilling the assembled dough sandwich before cutting and twisting can help the dough hold its shape better. These twists are best served warm and can be dipped in whipped cream for extra indulgence.
