Equipment

  • 12-cup standard muffin tin

Ingredients

  • 1 jar Pumpkin Butter or Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Butter
  • 1 package ( 17.3ounces / 2 sheets ) frozen puff pastry, thawed such as Pepperidge Farm
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Pumpkin Spice Glaze

Pumpkin Pie Spice Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 - 4 tablespoons milk or half-and-half

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • Unfold one pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface with the folds going left to right. Use a rolling pin to lightly press out creases from folds.
  • Add a thin layer of pumpkin butter on puff pastry, spreading with offset spatula, leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry. Sprinkle pumpkin butter with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  • Starting with the end nearest you, roll puff pastry up like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam-side down.
  • Trim the ends of the roll about ½ inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces.
  • Place each piece spiral side up, filling 6 wells of a 12-cup standard muffin pan. Repeat with the second piece of puff pastry.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
  • Allow to cool for about 15 minutes in pan before drizzling on pumpkin spice glaze.
  • Serve immediately.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Glaze

  • In medium bowl, combine all ingredients until smooth, adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time until reaching desired consistency.
  • Drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

  • Use pumpkin butter of choice or find an easy recipe for Slow Cooker Maple Pumpkin Butter. You'll need approximately 1 cup for this recipe.
  • Substitute apple butter for pumpkin butter if you prefer.
