Ingredients
Cruffins
- 3 tubes (8 ounces each) crescent roll sheets
- 9 tablespoons pumpkin pie filling
- ¾ cup (182 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Cream Cheese Glaze (Optional)
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (94 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
Instructions
Cruffins
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Working on a lightly floured work surface, roll out each tube of dough to a 12×16-inch rectangle. (We used crescent roll sheets; if you are using perforated crescent roll dough, be sure to pinch the seams to seal.)
- Spread 3 tablespoons of pumpkin pie filling over each sheet of dough.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
- Sprinkle about ¼ cup of the spice mixture evenly over the top of the pumpkin pie filling on each dough sheet.
- Starting on the long end of the dough sheet, tightly roll it up into a log.
- Cut the log in half, creating two shorter logs.
- Cut each of those shorter logs in half lengthwise, giving you four sections of dough.
- Repeat with the remaining two sheets of dough. You will have 12 sections of dough.
- Working one section of dough at a time with the layered side facing up, roll it tightly into a cinnamon roll shape, tucking the end piece of dough underneath.
- Place into the prepared muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining 11 sections.
- Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove rolls from the oven. Let the cruffins cool slightly before adding the glaze (if using).
Cream Cheese Glaze
- While the cruffins cool slightly, in a medium bowl, mix together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla, confectioners' sugar, and 2 tablespoons milk. Add more milk if necessary to thin the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cruffins. Enjoy!
