Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
Pumpkin Filling
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 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 and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated to create a flavorful spiced pumpkin filling.
- Prepare Crescents: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place a heaping teaspoon of the pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll each triangle starting from the wide end toward the point, enclosing the filling completely. Arrange the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet with some space between them.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents turn golden brown and are cooked through. Once done, 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 milk a little at a time as needed until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Glaze Crescents: Drizzle the warm pumpkin pie crescents with the maple glaze using a spoon or a piping bag, covering them evenly for added sweetness and flavor.
- Serve: Serve the pumpkin pie crescents warm, optionally with extra maple glaze on the side for dipping. Enjoy this cozy fall treat!
Notes
- Ensure the crescents are rolled tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Adjust the spices in the filling according to your preference for warmth and intensity.
- If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- These crescents are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven.
- For a dairy-free glaze, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
