Mini Pumpkin Pie Crescent Rolls (Print View)

Flaky pastry crescents filled with spiced pumpkin, baked to golden perfection. A delightful, seasonal dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 package (17 oz) store-bought puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets)

→ Filling

02 - 1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree, excess moisture pressed out
03 - 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
04 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
09 - 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
10 - 2 large egg yolks

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine pressed pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and egg yolks. Stir until fully blended and uniform.
03 - Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Gently roll each sheet to smooth out seams and even thickness.
04 - Evenly distribute half of the pumpkin mixture onto each pastry sheet, leaving a small border along the edges.
05 - With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each sheet into long triangles approximately 3 inches wide at the base and 9 to 10 inches in height.
06 - Starting at the wide end, gently roll each triangle into a crescent shape. Arrange the rolls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
08 - Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Remove excess moisture from pumpkin puree for a flaky crust and avoid a soggy filling.
