Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets defrosted puff pastry
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 whole egg lightly whisked
  • 1/4 cup raw sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment and set aside.
  • In a bowl, stir the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger together. Set aside.
  • Place one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll the puff pastry to smooth out any seams. Do the same with the second sheet of puff pastry.
  • Spread the pumpkin filling on one sheet of puff pastry and place the second sheet of pastry on top. Slice one inch strips with a knife. If you find the dough is getting soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes before continuing.
  • Hold the ends of each strip and twist a few times. Place the twists onto the baking sheet. Brush each twist with the egg and lightly sprinkle the raw sugar on top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Let cool before eating.
