Pumpkin Crescent Rolls
Description
This recipe starts by blending pumpkin puree with brown and granulated sugars, pumpkin pie spice, and egg yolks to create a smooth, flavorful filling. Refrigerated crescent roll dough sheets are unrolled and separated, each topped with a spoonful of the pumpkin mixture. The dough is rolled up tightly starting with the long edge and placed on a greased baking sheet.
Baked at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, the rolls develop a golden-brown exterior while retaining a soft, flaky crumb inside. Once cooled briefly, a glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and maple flavoring is drizzled over the warm rolls to add a sweet finish and subtle maple aroma.
These pumpkin crescent rolls are excellent for holiday mornings or seasonal treats. They can be prepared and baked a day ahead, with the glaze added just before serving. Leftovers store at room temperature for up to a week or can be frozen for longer preservation, then gently reheated.

Notes
- You can prepare and bake these rolls up to a day in advance; hold off on glazing until serving for best texture.
