What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

Store-bought frozen puff pastry works beautifully here—just make sure it’s thawed but still cold when you work with it. Go for an all-butter variety if you can find it for the richest flavor and flakiest texture. You can also use crescent roll dough in a pinch, though the final result will be slightly softer and less crisp.

Ingredients for the Pumpkin Pull-Apart Rolls

• Puff Pastry Sheets: The base for our buttery layers. One or two sheets depending on how many rolls you want to make.
• Pumpkin Puree: Adds that quintessential fall flavor. Be sure it’s plain puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
• Brown Sugar: Creates that gooey caramelized swirl inside.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: A warm blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves that brings everything together.
• Chopped Pecans: For texture and a nutty richness that pairs perfectly with pumpkin.
• Egg Wash: To give the rolls a golden, glossy finish.
• Coarse Sugar (Optional): For a crunchy topping and sparkle.

How To Make the Pumpkin Pull-Apart Rolls

Step 1: Prep the Pastry

Roll out your thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out the creases. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Make the Filling

Mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl until well combined.

Step 3: Spread and Sprinkle

Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle chopped pecans generously over the top.

Step 4: Roll and Slice

Starting from the long edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice into 1-inch sections.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best texture.
