Description

These delightful Crescent Pumpkins are filled with a creamy pumpkin pie filling and make the perfect festive treat for Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

Scale

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)

4 oz cream cheese

softened

1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée

1 egg (for egg wash)

Orange food coloring (optional)

Pretzel sticks or green candy (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
Place about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up the triangles and shape them into pumpkin-like forms. Use your fingers to pinch and create a stem at the top.
If desired, add orange food coloring to the egg wash, and brush it over each pumpkin roll.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Let them cool slightly, then insert pretzel sticks or green candy at the top for decoration.

Notes

For a healthier twist, reduce the amount of brown sugar or use a sugar substitute. Customize the filling by adding chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
