Provided by Debbie Chapman

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 egg
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons of milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, sugar, egg and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Unroll the crescent dough on the baking sheet, separating the triangles. Place about 1 Tablespoon of the pumpkin mixture on each triangle.
  • Starting with the largest end of the dough, roll the crescent over the pumpkin mix, then slightly pinch the dough closed to keep the filling from leaking out. Continue rolling the dough into a crescent shape.
  • Bake at 375F for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • For the glaze: Add a small amount of milk to the powdered sugar and stir. Continue adding small amounts of milk and stirring until the icing is a good consistency. If the icing is too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
  • Pour the icing into a plastic zip bag.
  • After the pumpkin pie crescents have cooled for about 10 minutes. Cut off a small corner from the zip bag and drizzle the glaze over the crescents.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

MINI PUMPKIN PIE CROISSANTS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Mini Pumpkin Pie Croissants Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-25138

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tubes Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls.
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 to 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice, to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons sugar (granulated or powdered; adjust to taste if you want the filling sweeter)

Steps:

  • Roll each crescent roll out and cut lengthwise in 2. Beat the above ingredients together until fluffy and creamy and spread about one teaspoon of filling over each triangle of dough. Mix together 4 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice and roll each pumpkin pie croissant in it. Bake at 375°F for about 13-15 minutes - you want them to be lightly browned and the dough baked through. I use baking stones, so baking times may vary. These are sweet but not so-much-so - sublime little bites of pumpkin pie heaven that are easy and portable and the perfect addition to any fall celebration. Refrigerate leftover filling ... it is delicious on bagels or toast and it makes a great dip for cinnamon graham crackers, green apples and ginger snaps!

PUMPKIN-FILLED CRESCENT ROLLS



Pumpkin-Filled Crescent Rolls image

This is an Old World recipe derived from my grandmother, who didn't use traditional measuring cups. We figured out this recipe, which must date back to 1900 or earlier. Other fillings that work well are cranberry, peanut butter or lemon. -Gary Wanosky, North Ridgeville, Ohio

Provided by Pinay0618

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup dark raisin
1/4 cup rye whiskey
6 large croissants, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 1 pound)
butter, for the dish
1 cup pumpkin pie filling
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
7 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Put the raisins in a bowl and cover with the whiskey. Spread the croissant pieces on a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes, stirring once, until golden brown. Let cool.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350°. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin pie filling with the cream, milk, eggs, sugar and salt. In the prepared baking dish, toss the croissants with the raisins and whiskey. Pour the pumpkin mixture on top, pressing with the back of a spoon until most of the croissants are moistened.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin puree has a much better flavor than canned pumpkin. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned pumpkin, but be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the croissants until they are golden brown: The croissants should be baked until they are golden brown and puffed up. If they are not baked long enough, they will be doughy in the center.
  • Serve the croissants warm: Pumpkin pie croissants are best served warm from the oven. You can also reheat them in a low oven or toaster oven.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. They are made with a flaky croissant dough that is filled with a pumpkin pie filling. The croissants are then baked until they are golden brown and puffed up. Pumpkin pie croissants are best served warm from the oven, but they can also be reheated in a low oven or toaster oven.
