Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until smooth.
Roll out puff pastry and spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over one half.
Fold the other half over the filling and press gently to seal.
Cut into 1-inch strips and twist each strip.
Place twists on baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra richness, add a spoonful of cream cheese to the filling.

Swap pumpkin for sweet potato or apple butter for a flavor twist.

Sprinkle chopped nuts or a drizzle of vanilla glaze for added texture and sweetness.

Best enjoyed warm; reheat in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes.
