Description
Flaky crescent rolls filled with a sweet and spiced pumpkin pie filling—these mini treats are perfect for fall gatherings and a quick dessert fix.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup (120 g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
- Optional: Powdered sugar (for dusting), Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin filling at the wide end of each triangle. Gently spread it slightly, leaving the edges clean.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip to form crescent rolls. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish. Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Ensure not to overfill the crescent rolls to prevent spillage while baking.
- For a crispier texture, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed.
- These crescent rolls are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
- You can customize the filling by adding chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
