Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 2 sheets Puff Pastry thawed; provides a flaky, buttery base for the twists.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree 100% pure to avoid added sugars.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar adds deep sweetness and enhances caramel notes.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar balances flavors and helps create that golden crust.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon brings warm, cozy flavors of fall.
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg adds a subtle nutty flavor.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract enhances sweetness and aroma.
For the Finish
  • 1 egg Egg Wash mixed with 1 tbsp water for a golden brown finish.

Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Sharp knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and chill for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out each thawed puff pastry sheet to approximately 10 by 12 inches. Slice into six equal rectangles, each about 4 by 5 inches.
  3. Place a tablespoon of the chilled pumpkin filling in the center of each pastry rectangle. Fold over and seal edges tightly, then twist each pocket to form a spiral shape.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Allow the twists to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving, optionally dusting with powdered sugar.
