I made these delicious pumpkin pie crescents for dessert last week and I just have to share this recipe. It is so easy and really delicious. If you are on a diet I do not recommend you make these because you CANNOT have just one and you will be tempted to have at least 4 in one sitting. They taste just like a pumpkin hand pie with a light, flaky crust. Here is the recipe:
Pumpkin Pie Crescents
1 (8 count) package refrigerated crrescent rolls
1/2 can pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup brown sugar
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. Unroll the crescent rolls and spread about 2 tablespoons of filling on one side of each triangle. Roll the bottom of the triangle up until you reach the point. Place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
After the crescents cooled I made a maple glaze with powdered sugar, milk, and maple extract and I drizzled this over the top. Then I sprinkled them with chopped up candied pecans. These are good for dessert but also for breakfast or a snack.
Something you should be aware of is to make sure you give them plenty of time to bake through. The first batch I made was doughy because I did not leave them in the oven long enough. I was afraid of them burning on the outside and I pulled them out too soon. The next batch I made was perfect. I used the jumbo crescent rolls and they had to bake almost 30 minutes! So be patient and they will turn out perfectly. Enjoy!
