Ingredients
Large egg
Water
Puff pastry
Canned plain pumpkin
Granulated sugar
Pumpkin pie spice
Coarse sugar (optional)

Milk (for glaze)
Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the large egg and a splash of water to create an egg wash.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into strips, about 2 inches wide.
- In another bowl, mix the canned pumpkin, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the pumpkin mixture onto each strip of puff pastry, then fold the pastry over to encase the filling.
- Twist each pastry strip and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the twists with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
- While the twists are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Once the twists are done, let them cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra touch, feel free to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the pumpkin filling for added crunch.
