1. Can I use homemade pumpkin puree for this recipe?

Yes, you can absolutely use homemade pumpkin puree in place of canned puree. Just make sure to drain any excess water from the puree to ensure the filling doesn’t become too runny.

2. How can I store leftover Pumpkin Pie Twists?

Store any leftover Pumpkin Pie Twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To retain their crispy texture, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

3. Can I make Pumpkin Pie Twists ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the Pumpkin Pie Twists up to the point of twisting the dough. Store the prepared twists in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Simply bake them when you're ready to serve.

4. How do I make the twists extra sweet?

If you want to add a little extra sweetness, drizzle the baked twists with icing or a glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and a touch of vanilla extract.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll crescent dough and cut into two identical rectangles on a cutting board.
In a small bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice.
Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over one rectangle of dough.
Place the second rectangle of dough on top, sandwiching the pumpkin filling between them.
Cut the dough into strips about 3/4 inch wide using a pizza cutter.
Carefully twist each strip from both ends to form spirals.
Brush melted butter generously over each twist.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over the twists.
Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and crispy.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with whipped cream for dipping.

Notes

Make sure not to overfill the dough with pumpkin filling to avoid spilling during twisting.
Twist both ends of each dough strip to create neat spirals that bake evenly.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat them in the oven to restore crispiness.
