Everyone is going pumpkin crazy so I thought I’d better get a move on and make something yummy before the season passes me by! This month has flown by. Myself, I am ready for the cooler weather, the leaves falling and the cool breezes through the bedroom window. With this season comes some of my favorite flavors: caramel, apples, pumpkin and cranberry. I love all the goodies that come together with these fall flavors and today I made one that I hope you love as much as my family did. They are super simple and I know you will want to make them again and again.
You will need. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Filling:
- 2 cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- 1/2 of a block of cream cheese 4oz.
- 1/2 of a can of pure canned pumpkin (1 cup)
- 4 tbs. powdered sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Topping:
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 1tbs milk
- 1/2 cup of crushed walnuts
To start, open your Pillsbury crescent rolls. I made mine a little smaller by getting the non cut version and cutting them myself so they would make more. Roll them out and cut out your triangles. They don’t have to be perfect, you’re eating them all up I promise!
In a mixing bowl, add the pumpkin filling ingredients. I used my mixer but you can use a hand mixer as well or stir by hand with a wooden spoon.
Beat the mixture until it is nice and creamy.
Spread about 1 heaping teaspoon into each triangle.
Roll the crescent roll making sure the ends close so the filling doesn’t seep out.
Spray a large baking sheet and once your crescents are all rolled, put into your preheated oven of 375 degrees. Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
While those are cooking, in a small mixing bowl make your walnut maple drizzle. Add your powdered sugar into a small bowl.
If your walnuts aren’t already crushed, here is a simple method for crushing them.
Next, add your crushed walnuts, maple syrup and milk into the bowl and mix till it becomes soupy and creamy.
Take your crescents out of the oven. Don’t they look good? I gave each one a little sprinkle of the pumpkin pie spice before they went in.
Spoon your decadent walnut maple drizzle generously over each pumpkin crescent.
Pretty enough for the fanciest of dinners. These little rolls are so easy and the perfect fall comfort food. Enjoy.
