PUMPKIN PIE CRESCENTS

I love fall; the cooler weather, the beautiful colors, crunchy leaves and of course all of the yummy pumpkin flavored desserts!

If you’re looking for a delicious and easy way to enjoy pumpkin pie, this is it!  These crescents go great with afternoon coffee or a make perfect quick dessert on a busy weeknight!  In fact, this recipe is so easy to put together that my 10 year old daughter was able to make it herself with just a little bit of guidance!

This recipe calls for pumpkin pie filling, not canned pumpkin so be sure you’re grabbing the right one!  While the pumpkin pie filling does contain spices already, you’re only adding a very small amount to each crescent so you’ll need to add a little bit more spice for flavor. If you don’t have Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand you can easily make your own at home with a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger (find the recipe here) or just substitute a little bit of cinnamon.
