Pumpkin Pie Twists
Hello Everybody! As you know last week I did a vlog post but this week I had some technical difficulties (not having enough storage on my phone to video tape…oops!) and was not able to film my video. So this week I will be writing a blog post of what I have made.This week, since it is the beginning of fall and today is the first day of October, I decided to be festive and do a quick snack recipe with pumpkin! With the help of my friend Ashley, I got the recipe for Pumpkin Pie Twists. Now these looked so delicious and simple that it would have been a crime if I didn’t make them! I followed this recipe through Pinterest (http://deliciouslysprinkled.com/pumpkin-pie-twists/) and was able to make these twists in less than 20 minutes!
Like last week, I used crescent rolls AGAIN! I had 3 rolls so I had to use them for something! Plus, let’s be honest, crescent rolls are a gift from heaven; there is nothing you can make with a crescent roll that wouldn’t be good.
Okay so to begin, I gathered all my ingredients: crescent rolls, 100% pure pumpkin, pumpkin spice (which I homemade with ground cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg (and ginger if you have it)), and butter. THAT’S IT! That’s all the ingredients you need! I know it is so simple.
Next
I preheated my oven to 375 degrees and lined a baking sheet with a silicon
baking mat (or you can use parchment paper), then I opened the crescent roll
package and separated the dough into four squares (keeping two of the triangles
attached.) Next I spread a thin layer of the pumpkin on two of the squares. I then sprinkled my pumpkin spice
mixture over the pumpkin.
The next step is to take the two
remaining plain dough squares and place them on top of the squares with the
pumpkin, creating a sandwich. Then, using a pizza or pastry cutter, I cut each
sandwich into four strips to make eight total. With these strips all you need
to do is twist them around, then spread each twist with some butter and
sprinkle with the pumpkin spice.
Pop these bad boys in
the oven for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and you got yourself a
treat!
(An optional addition is to make a
cream cheese icing to drizzle over which is made with cream cheese, butter,
powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Just mix these ingredients together starting
with the butter and cream cheese then add the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk
as needed. You can drizzle this on the twists right when they come out of the
oven.)
Let me tell you, these twists were
so delicious and addicting I think I am going to have to make a batch every
week so my family doesn’t eat them all!
I really hope you try this recipe, I promise you
won’t be let down and it will get your right in the fall spirit!!
