Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree see notes on using pumpkin pie filling*
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Icing

  • 1/2 cup confectionery sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons milk

Instructions

  • Roll out crescent roll dough and press down on any perforated lines.
  • Cut dough into quarters by making one cut length-wise and then again width-wise. Cut into eighths if needed for smaller air fryers.
  • Add pumpkin puree, half of the pumpkin pie spice, and salt, then mix to combine.
  • Spread the pumpkin puree on top of crescent roll dough.
  • Place the 2 of the crescent dough sheets on top of the other two, pumpkin side down. Make sure the corners and sides match up as well as possible.
  • Using a dough or pizza cutter, cut each pumpkin twist sheet into 4 long strips, making a total of 8.
  • Preheat air fryer to 320 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
  • Twist each strip 1-2 times on the bottom and 1-2 times on the top.
  • Baste melted butter on top of the pumpkin pie twists and sprinkle with remaining pumpkin pie spice.
  • Place the pumpkin twists into the air fryer evenly in one layer and not touching. Cook for 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing by whisking the confectionery sugar, melted butter, and milk in a bowl.
  • Remove Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie Twists from the air fryer and drizzle with icing.
  • Enjoy immediately or store in a refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

*if using leftover pumpkin pie filling, omit the pumpkin spice that goes into the pumpkin puree (you will only need 1 teaspoon)
