My favorite Fall dessert is pumpkin pie. Lucky for me we are entering into pumpkin pie season. But who wants to spend all that time making a pumpkin pie from scratch? Not me. To save time and still get a hint of pumpkin pie goodness, I made this Pumpkin Pie Crescent Roll Recipe. How easy are they to make? Well, my kids helped with most of the process. Next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert option, try these! Don't forget to check out the rest of our family friendly recipes.
Once my kids heard that I was making Pumpkin Pie Crescent Rolls, they just had to join in on the fun. They have been great helpers in the past when we have made Blackberry Crescent Rolls and Pizza Crescents. In fact, they knew exactly what they had to do: scoop the pumpkin filling and roll.
After the pumpkin crescents were rolled and shaped, my daughter sprinkled on some pumpkin pie spice. I would recommend supervision during this step as kids have a tendency to over sprinkle.
Now, these are ready to go in the oven. I find the best way to bake these pumpkin pie crescent rolls is to use a {affiliate link} toaster oven. They cook up pretty quickly and you are not heating up the entire house using the oven.
These will make your house smell divine. Seriously like you were baking a pumpkin pie all day long. Now you can stop here and have a yummy treat, but that is not how we roll. Oh no. We had to glaze this thing up and take it to the next level.
The glaze is so easy to make, you won't want to skip it.
