Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling
- 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
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated to create a flavorful pumpkin filling.
- Shape Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough up from the wide end towards the point to form mini crescent rolls.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the prepared crescent rolls on the lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow expansion during baking.
- Apply Egg Wash and Sugar Topping: Brush the tops of each roll with the beaten egg to promote browning and shine. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the rolls for a sweet and spiced finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For added sweetness, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
- These rolls can be served warm or at room temperature according to preference.
