These Easy Pumpkin Pie Twists are a delightful fall treat featuring flaky crescent roll dough filled with a spiced pumpkin puree mixture. Perfectly twisted, brushed with butter, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, and baked to golden perfection, they make a quick, festive dessert or snack. Serve warm with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough and Filling

  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 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 your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice until smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board. Cut the dough in half to create two identical rectangles and lay them side by side.
  4. Assemble Filling: Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over one of the dough rectangles, ensuring you reach the edges without overfilling.
  5. Sandwich the Layers: Carefully place the second rectangle of dough on top of the pumpkin-filled one, aligning all edges neatly to form a sandwich.
  6. Cut Strips: Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough sandwich into strips approximately 3/4 inch wide.
  7. Twist Strips: Transfer the strips to the prepared baking sheet. Pick up one end of each strip and twist it twice, then pick up the other end and twist it an additional 2 to 3 times to create a spiral effect.
  8. Butter and Sprinkle: Generously brush each twisted strip with the melted butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle this evenly over all the twists.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 11 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream for dipping.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
  • Adjust pumpkin spice quantity to taste or substitute with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Serve fresh out of the oven for flakiest texture.
  • These twists can be made ahead and reheated in a warm oven before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
