INGREDIENTS You Need

This Pumpkin Pie Crescents recipe is all about bold flavors and simple ingredients. You can grab everything you need on your normal grocery run, I promise!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough: The base for our flaky, buttery dreams!
1 cup pumpkin puree: Not pumpkin pie filling! We want pure pumpkin goodness.
4 ounces cream cheese, softened: This adds a tangy richness to the pumpkin filling.
1/4 cup granulated sugar: For a touch of sweetness that balances the spices.
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice: The heart and soul of our pumpkin pie filling crescents! You can grab this during your normal shopping trip.
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon: For an extra layer of warm spice.
2 tablespoons melted butter: To brush on top for extra golden deliciousness.
2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon: For a sweet and sparkly topping.

No worries if you don’t have pumpkin pie spice! I use a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves all the time in my Pumpkin Pie Crescents. It tastes just as incredible.

This Pumpkin Pie Crescents recipe gets its amazing taste from the warm spices and creamy filling. That cream cheese adds something really special!

For a shortcut on busy weeknights, measure out your spices and sugar ahead of time and store them in a small container. This makes assembling the Pumpkin Pie Crescents a breeze.

Store any leftover pumpkin puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. I love adding extra cinnamon to my Pumpkin Pie Crescents for that extra kick!

Let’s Make Some!

Okay, fellow food lovers, let’s dive into the delicious magic of making Pumpkin Pie Crescents! This is way easier than you think!

First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. This helps your pumpkin pie filling crescents slide right off.
Next, in a medium bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. This is where the magic starts happening!
- In my kitchen, this usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. Don’t overmix!
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Now, this is my favorite part of making Pumpkin Pie Crescents – watch the magic happen!
- Don’t worry if the dough tears a little; you can gently pinch it back together.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the pumpkin filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up the triangles from the wide end to the point. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. These pumpkin spice crescents will look amazing as they bake.
- Don’t overfill the crescents, or the filling might leak out during baking.
Brush the tops of the crescents with melted butter. Then, sprinkle them generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. This gives our Pumpkin Pie Crescents that extra sparkle and flavor.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the filling is set. Your Pumpkin Pie Crescents should smell absolutely incredible right now!
Let the easy pumpkin crescent recipe cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Be careful; the filling will be hot!

While your Pumpkin Pie Crescents are doing their thing, get ready for some amazing aromas! This easy pumpkin crescent recipe is so simple to follow and yields amazing results. This is my favorite part of making Pumpkin Pie Crescents– watch the magic happen!
