Substitutions and Variations

  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can make my homemade pumpkin pie spice blend.
  • Want to use puff pastry instead? Try my Pumpkin Puff Pastry recipe.

    I made these but I also made a variation with apples inside where you get canned apples like you would use for pies then chop then finely and roll that into a crescent roll. Also if you want to add a little bit more fall flavor to this add some cinnamon sugar it turned out great on both the apple and pumpkin.
