Pumpkin Filling
- 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Pastry
- 1 package puff pastry (thawed)
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the pumpkin filling and pastry twists.
- Prepare the pumpkin filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well until fully blended to create a smooth, spiced pumpkin mixture.
- Assemble the twists: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a clean surface. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly across the surface of the pastry, ensuring full coverage but leaving a small border around the edges.
- Cut and twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into strips, about 1 inch wide. Take each strip and gently twist it several times to create a spiral shape.
- Air fry the twists: Place the twisted strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching to allow hot air circulation. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Remove the twists from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
Notes
- Make sure your puff pastry is fully thawed before working with it to avoid cracking.
- You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top before serving for extra sweetness.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook the twists in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in the air fryer to refresh crispness.
