Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls and Filling
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 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.
- Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended to form a smooth, spiced pumpkin mixture.
- Assemble Crescents: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the prepared pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the pointed end, enclosing the filling securely, and place the filled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Crescents: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescents turn golden brown and are cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before glazing.
- Make Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and pure maple syrup. Add milk gradually, 1 teaspoon at a time, whisking until the glaze reaches your desired consistency—smooth and pourable but not too runny.
- Glaze Crescents: Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the warm pumpkin pie crescents using a spoon or piping bag to add a sweet finishing touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pumpkin pie crescents warm with extra maple glaze on the side if desired. Enjoy this cozy and flavorful fall treat!
Notes
- You can substitute canned pumpkin puree with homemade pumpkin puree if preferred.
- Adjust spices according to your taste preference for more or less warmth.
- For a dairy-free glaze, use a plant-based milk alternative.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
- These crescents can be prepared ahead and glazed just before serving to keep them fresh.
