Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 oz cream cheese
Brown Sugar Crumble Topping
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
Finishing
- 3 tablespoons apple juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray to prepare for baking.
- Make brown sugar crumble: In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Cut in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set this aside for later use.
- Prepare crescent rolls: Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 individual triangles. At the widest end of each triangle, place 1 tablespoon of pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar mixture, and a small piece of cream cheese.
- Roll the dumplings: Roll up each crescent triangle starting from the widest end, tucking the smaller end underneath. Arrange all rolled crescents evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Add topping and apple juice: Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar crumble mixture over the rolled crescents, then carefully pour the apple juice evenly over the top to keep them moist and add flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the dumplings to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this warm and comforting treat!
Notes
- You can substitute canned pumpkin puree with fresh homemade pumpkin puree if desired.
- To make cleanup easier, line the baking dish with parchment paper before greasing.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top before serving.
- If you want a dairy-free version, use dairy-free butter and cream cheese alternatives.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
