Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls and Filling
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1-2 teaspoons milk (as needed for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly spiced.
- Assemble Crescents: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, enclosing the filling completely. Place the rolled crescents spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Crescents: Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Make Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk incrementally to achieve a smooth, drizzle-friendly glaze consistency.
- Glaze the Crescents: Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the warm pumpkin pie crescents using a spoon or a piping bag for an elegant presentation.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pumpkin pie crescents warm, optionally with extra maple glaze on the side. Enjoy this comforting fall treat fresh!
Notes
- For a vegan version, use vegan crescent rolls and substitute maple syrup or powdered sugar glaze accordingly.
- Adjust the spices to taste if you prefer a more or less intense pumpkin spice flavor.
- Ensure the filling does not overflow when rolling to prevent leaking during baking.
- The glaze can be made thicker or thinner by adjusting the milk quantity.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat slightly before serving.
