Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Dough
- 2 packages Crescent Roll Dough
Filling
- 1/3 cup Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup Canned Pumpkin Purée
Topping
- 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Open the two packages of crescent roll dough and separate each into 8 individual triangles, placing them flat on a clean surface.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Using about a teaspoon of softened cream cheese, evenly spread it onto each crescent triangle, covering the surface.
- Add Pumpkin Purée: Next, spread approximately a teaspoon of canned pumpkin purée on top of the cream cheese layer on each triangle.
- Roll Crescents: Carefully roll each triangle from the wider end to the tip to form crescent shapes.
- Butter and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of each crescent roll with melted unsalted butter. Then sprinkle evenly with a mixture of ground cinnamon and granulated sugar for a sweet finish.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface, ensuring they have space to expand.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the crescents turn golden brown and flaky.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your pumpkin crescents fresh!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy spreading.
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the pumpkin mixture.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
