Let's talk about these delicious Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls. If you aren't a fan of working with yeast or don't have the time then you will love this recipe. It uses crescent rolls which is a huge time saver.
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients
To make these delicious Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls you will need crescent roll dough, unsalted butter, canned pumpkin, light brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
Ingredient List
1 Pillsbury crescent roll dough tube
1 tbsp unsalted butter – melted a little bit
2 tbsp canned pumpkin (not pie filling)
½ cup light brown sugar
2 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
Frosting Ingredients
4 oz cream cheese – room temperature
2 tbsp unsalted butter – softened
pinch of salt
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
How To Make Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9 inch pie pan with non-stick spray. Unroll the crescent roll sheet and push all of the seams together, making one solid sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the semi-melted butter and pumpkin. Spread the pumpkin mixture over the entire sheet of dough, reaching all of the edges.
In another bowl, combine the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Then, sprinkle all over the top of the sheet, reaching all of the edges.
Roll the sheet up from the short end, to the other short end.
To cut your slices, use a string such as floss or butcher string, tie it around the log and pull tight until a slice has been made. This will prevent your slices from being smashed with a knife. Do this until you have made 8-9 slices.
Arrange the cinnamon rolls in your pan, giving them plenty of space to expand in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
While baking, prepare the frosting. Using a mixer beat together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add in the salt, vanilla, and milk and slowly add in the powdered sugar. If your glaze is too thick, add a little more milk.
When your rolls are done, let them cool for a few minutes and then drizzle the frosting all over the top. These are best served warm.
