Pumpkin Pie Twists are a delightful fall treat that combines flaky pastry with spiced pumpkin filling, creating a cozy and sweet dessert perfect for the autumn season.

Ingredients

For the Pastry

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (Use pre-rolled for convenience)

For the Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (The star of the show)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Sweetens the filling)
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (Adds moisture and richness)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (Infuses warmth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (Deepens flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger (Adds brightness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves (Adds warmth)

For Assembly

  • 1 egg (Beaten, used for brushing)
  • powdered sugar (Optional sweet topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry until it reaches about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves.
  4. Spread the filling: Spread the pumpkin filling evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  5. Fold and twist: Fold the puff pastry over the filling, pressing to seal the edges. Slice the pastry into 1-inch strips and twist each strip into spirals.
  6. Bake: Place the twisted pastries on the prepared baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftover twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months.
