Ingredients
Rolls:
- Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
- Pumpkin Puree (1/2 Cup)
- Butter, Softened *Filling (1/2 Cup)
- Granulated Sugar (1/2 Cup)
- Brown Sugar (1/2 Cup)
- Ground Cinnamon (1 Teaspoon)
- Pumpkin Pie Spice (1 Teaspoon)
- Butter, Melted *Brushing (3 tablespoons)
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- Cream Cheese, softened (3 Tablespoons)
- Butter, softened (3 Tablespoons)
- Powdered Sugar (3/4 Cup)
- Vanilla Extract (1 Teaspoon)
- Salt (1/4 Teaspoon)
Instructions
Rolls:
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375° F or 190° C. Prepare your baking dish with softened butter or spray with oil. Set aside.
- Mix: Combine and mix the softened butter and granulated sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Once combined, add the pumpkin puree and mix. Some clumps are normal. In a separate bowl, combine and mix the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Form the dough: Open the Pillsbury dough package following the instructions on the label and lay the dough out on a flat surface. Pinch the stitching together along the triangular shapes using your thumb and index finger. Spread on the wet mixture, sprinkle on the dry mixture, and lightly pat down.
- Slice: Place the dough horizontally in front of you. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough vertically down the centre in half. Then make 3 slices horizontally to make 8 strips of dough.
- Roll: With a little bit of pressure, slowly roll the dough to make 8 separate rolls.
- Bake: Place rolls in your baking dish. Try to keep the outer flaps of dough locked by positioning them close to another roll. Brush the cinnamon rolls with melted butter. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Glaze: While the rolls bake, make your icing/glaze. Combine all of the ingredients and mix until smooth, firm, and fluffy. Spread the glaze over the baked rolls.
