🔪 How to Make These Pumpkin Pie Crescent Rolls
Making these homemade crescent rolls from puff pastry is so simple. Just follow these step-by-step directions and you will have a delicious appetizer that is packed with all the flavors of fall in no time at all.
Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare a baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 375° and line a medium sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the pumpkin filling
In a medium sized bowl add, pumpkin purée, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and egg yolks and mix together.
Step 3: Cut out the puff pastries
Lightly dust a flat surface with flour to set the puff pastry on and spread out gently, put a thin layer of the filling all over the puff pastry. Then using a knife or a pizza cutter on the wider side, cut into long triangles.
Step 4: Roll the crescent rolls
Roll each triangle into a crescent ( always start rolling on the wider side ) and place it on a baking sheet.
Step 5: Brush with an egg wash and then bake.
You can mix an egg and a little bit of water together and use a baster to egg wash the tops of them before placing them in the oven. Then bake for 15 minutes or until a little golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
