Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Dough and Filling
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Maple Glaze
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (as needed for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well-blended.
- Prepare Crescents: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into eight triangles. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each triangle, then carefully roll them up towards the pointed end, sealing the filling inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each filled crescent onto the prepared baking sheet, tip side down. Slightly curve each piece to create the signature crescent shape.
- Bake Crescents: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Maple Glaze: While the crescents bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, and enough milk (1 to 2 teaspoons) to achieve a smooth, drizzle-able glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the crescent rolls with the maple glaze. Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Add chopped pecans to the pumpkin filling for a delightful crunchy texture.
- For extra sweetness and a caramelized finish, brush the tops of the crescents with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking.
