Ingredients
Scale
For the Crescents:
- 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
For the Maple Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1-2 teaspoons milk (as needed for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the spices and sugar are evenly distributed within the pumpkin mixture.
- Assemble the Crescents: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the 8 individual triangular pieces. Place about a heaping teaspoon of the pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll up each triangle from the wide end toward the tip, fully encasing the filling, then place the filled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Crescents: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the crescents for 12-15 minutes until they become golden brown and fully cooked. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Make the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and pure maple syrup. Add 1-2 teaspoons of milk gradually as needed to reach a smooth, pourable glaze consistency.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the warm pumpkin pie crescents using a spoon or piping bag. Serve immediately while still warm, offering extra glaze on the side if desired.
Notes
- Use refrigerated crescent roll dough for convenience and flaky texture.
- If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
- Store leftover crescents in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving to restore flakiness.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk in the glaze with a plant-based milk alternative.
