Ideal as a festive dessert or a cozy snack during autumn, these twists blend classic pumpkin pie spices with the crisp texture of golden pastry.

Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

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

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (beaten, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well mixed, creating a smooth, spiced pumpkin filling.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for a crispy, golden puff pastry result.
  3. Roll and Cut Pastry: Place the pre-rolled puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the sheet into long strips about 1 inch wide.
  4. Assemble Twists: Spread a thin layer of the pumpkin filling onto one side of each pastry strip. Carefully fold the strip in half lengthwise to seal the filling inside, then twist each strip several times to create a spiral shape.
  5. Brush with Egg Wash: Arrange the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush each twist with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish upon baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pumpkin pie twists for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and beautifully golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the canned pumpkin puree with fresh pumpkin puree if desired, but it should be well drained to avoid soggy pastry.
  • For extra sweetness, sprinkle powdered sugar on top after baking.
  • These twists are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for added texture and flavor.
