Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (pre-rolled, thawed)

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves

Finishing

  • 1 Egg (beaten for brushing)
  • Powdered Sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out your thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean surface until it reaches about 1/8 inch thickness to ensure a crispy and flaky texture.
  3. Make Pumpkin Filling: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves until smooth and well blended to create the flavorful filling.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the pumpkin mixture over the rolled-out puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to allow for sealing.
  5. Fold and Seal: Fold the puff pastry over the filling to cover it completely and press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
  6. Slice and Twist: Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch wide strips, then twist each strip several times to form spirals, which will create the signature twist shape.
  7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the twisted pastries on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart so they have room to puff up during baking.
  8. Brush with Egg: Brush the tops of each twist with the beaten egg to give the pastries a shiny, golden-brown finish once baked.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the twists are puffed and golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and flaky.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the pumpkin pie twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use thawed puff pastry for easier rolling and shaping.
  • Adjust spices to taste for a milder or more intense pumpkin pie flavor.
  • Twists can be made ahead and baked just before serving for freshness.
  • Powdered sugar is optional but adds a nice decorative touch.
  • These twists are best served warm but can be stored airtight and reheated gently.
