These Easy Pumpkin Pie Twists are a delightful fall-inspired treat made with flaky crescent roll dough filled with a sweet pumpkin spice mixture, twisted to perfection, brushed with butter, and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Perfect as a cozy breakfast or a festive dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.

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). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Make Pumpkin Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice, stirring until well blended and smooth.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean cutting board. Cut it in half lengthwise to create two identical rectangles, and lay them side by side.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the pumpkin mixture over one of the dough rectangles, ensuring a uniform layer for consistent flavor.
  5. Assemble Layers: Place the second dough rectangle over the first, sandwiching the pumpkin filling between the two layers. Align the edges carefully to seal the filling inside.
  6. Cut Strips: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough sandwich into strips approximately 3/4 inch wide, making sure the cuts go through both layers.
  7. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Gently transfer the strips to the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Twist Strips: For each strip, pick up one end and twist it twice, then pick up the other end and twist it an additional two or three times to create a twisted spiral shape.
  9. Brush with Butter: Generously brush each twisted strip with the melted butter to help the topping stick and enhance browning.
  10. Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon: Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then evenly sprinkle this mixture over each buttered twist for a sweet, crunchy finish.
  11. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 8–11 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of pumpkin spice to your preference or use a homemade blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra indulgence.
  • These twists are best enjoyed the day they’re made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute melted butter with a plant-based alternative.
