Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Make Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles as per package instructions.
- Fill and Roll: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin filling mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll each triangle tightly from the wide end toward the tip, forming crescent rolls.
- Arrange and Top: Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tops of each roll.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Optional Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed), and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the optional glaze over each roll. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor and texture, try adding mini chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the pumpkin filling before rolling.
- These crescent rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, warm briefly in the oven or microwave until heated through and soft.
