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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all spices and ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth filling.
- Prepare Crescents: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place a heaping teaspoon of the pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Carefully roll up each triangle from the wide end towards the point, enclosing the filling completely. Arrange the filled crescents evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before glazing.
- Prepare Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and pure maple syrup. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk as needed to reach a smooth, pourable glaze consistency.
- Glaze Crescents: Drizzle the maple glaze generously over the warm crescents using a spoon or piping bag for an attractive finish and added sweetness.
- Serve: Serve the pumpkin pie crescents warm, optionally with extra maple glaze on the side for dipping. Enjoy this comforting and festive treat!
Notes
- You can customize the spice level by adjusting the amounts of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
- If you prefer a dairy-free glaze, substitute the milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
- For easier handling, chill the pumpkin filling briefly before assembling the crescents.
- These crescents can be frozen unbaked; thaw and bake as directed when ready.
