Ingredients
- 1 can crescent dough
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix the pumpkin purée, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.

- For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze over the rolls once they have cooled.
- Try adding chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the pumpkin filling for added texture and flavor.
- Use homemade crescent dough or store-bought for convenience—both work well.

Store leftover crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in a warm oven for a few minutes to restore flakiness before serving.

FAQs
Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin purée?
It’s best to use plain pumpkin purée because canned pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and spiced, which can alter the flavor and texture of the crescent rolls.
Can I prepare these ahead of time and bake later?
Yes, you can assemble the crescent rolls and refrigerate them before baking. Just cover them tightly and bake within 24 hours, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if chilled.
