Disneyland's Maurice's Treats: Pumpkin Twists
Disneyland's Maurice's Treats: Pumpkin Twists recipe inspired by the Maurice's Treats food cart in Disneyland, California for Halloween.
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 35 minutes mins
- 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
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.
