Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 large egg
- splash of water
- 1 tablespoon decorator's sugar
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper, set aside. In a small bowl stir together the sugar and pumpkin pie spice until combined, set aside.
- Roll out the puff pastry, working with one sheet at a time, on a lightly floured clean work surface to a 10x14 inch rectangle.
- Spread ½ cup of the pumpkin puree over the pastry, leaving a half-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle ½ of the sugar mixture all over. Sprinkle half of the pecans on top.
- Start at one of the longer sides and roll tightly into a long log. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the second pastry and fillings. Place on prepared sheet.
- Taking kitchen shears or a knife, make slits in the log about ½ inch apart. Cut about ¾ of the way down, leaving the bottom intact.
- Fan out the top piece then go down the log and alternating between each piece, press it over to the side. It should look like a zig-zag pattern. Fan out the bottom piece.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg and water. Brush the pastries all over with the egg wash. Sprinkle the decorator’s sugar on top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
- While the pastry is baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl.
- Let the pastry cool on the sheet tray for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Drizzle glaze on top or serve it as a dip on the side. Enjoy every bite.
