Recipe Ingredients

• GRANULATED SUGAR: To sweeten things up.
• GROUND CINNAMON & PUMPKIN PIE SPICE: For all the fall flavour. 

Kitchen Equipment

• CUTTING BOARD: You’ll want to use a cutting board to prepare your dough on. Once your dough is prepared, a cutting board will make it easier to slice your dough; instead of needing to transfer your prepared dough to a cutting board afterwards to cut it.
• PIZZA CUTTER: I recommend using a pizza cutter to slice your dough. It will smoothly glide through the dough, slicing it easily and with precision. 
• LARGE BAKING SHEET: This recipe makes 8 crescent pumpkin twists, so I recommend using a large baking sheet to fit them all in. They don’t need much spacing from each other, maybe half an inch. However, you can always use 2 smaller baking sheets if you don’t have 1 large one. 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350° F or 177° C. Prepare your baking sheet(s) with tin foil and spray, and set it aside for later. Parchment paper will also work for this recipe. Following the instructions on the Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls package, open the package and lay the dough out flat on a cutting board.
2. Mix: In a small bowl, combine and mix the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and sugar. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Carefully and slowly flip the dough over so that the sugar side is now face down. Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture evenly over this side of the dough.
3. Slice: Slowly and firmly slice the dough into 8 strips with a pizza cutter. Twist each strip to create a twist of dough.
4. Bake: Carefully place each twist onto your baking sheet(s). Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden.
5. Serve: Allow to cool for 2-5 minutes before eating.

Expert Tips

• Make more pumpkin pie twists: If you prefer to have more than 8 pumpkin pie twists, slice more strips. They will be thinner but taste just the same! I would recommend cooking for 8-10 minutes if you make more than 8. 
• Keep your pumpkin twists shape while baking: Once you’ve made you have shaped your cinnamon twists, press any flaps that are sticking up down. This will help stick through together and keep the dough from unravelling while it’s baking.
• Garnish with sugar: Once slightly cooled, after 5 minutes, garnish with some extra granulated sugar. This garnish makes these pumpkin pie twists look so pretty!
