Ingredients
Scale
1 sheet puff pastry (about 14 ounces), thawed
½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon milk or cream, for egg wash
Turbinado sugar (optional), for sprinkling
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Gently roll the pastry into a 12×12 inch square.
Spread the pumpkin filling evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the pastry in half, pressing the edges gently to seal.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the folded pastry into ½-inch strips. Twist each strip several times to create the signature twist shape.
Place the twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk or cream to create the egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the twists.
Sprinkle the twists with turbinado sugar (if using). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
Let the twists cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
