Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (Use pre-rolled for convenience)

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (The star of the show)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Sweetens the filling)
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (Adds moisture and richness)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (Infuses warmth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (Deepens flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger (Adds brightness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves (Adds warmth)

Topping

  • 1 egg (beaten) (Used for brushing)
  • Powdered Sugar (Optional sweet topping)

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 even baking.
  2. Roll Puff Pastry: Roll out your thawed puff pastry until it reaches about 1/8 inch thickness, providing a delicate and flaky base for the filling.
  3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves to create a flavorful and aromatic pumpkin filling.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the pumpkin filling over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to allow for sealing.
  5. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the puff pastry over the filling, pressing the edges together firmly to seal and prevent leaks during baking.
  6. Slice and Twist: Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch strips, then twist each strip into spirals to form the signature pumpkin pie twists.
  7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the twisted pastry strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between them for expansion while baking.
  8. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each twist with the beaten egg to give them a glossy, golden finish once baked.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the twists turn a beautiful golden brown and are crisp on the outside.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Use pre-rolled puff pastry for convenience, and make sure it is properly thawed before rolling.
  • The filling can be adjusted with additional spices according to personal preference.
  • Twists are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the egg wash with a mixture of plant-based milk and maple syrup.
  • Be careful not to overfill the pastry to prevent leakage during baking.
