How do I store leftover Pumpkin Puff Pastry Twists?

To store these pastry twists, place them in an airtight container once they have completely cooled. They can be kept at room temperature for a day or in the refrigerator for up to three days. However, keep in mind that the pastry will lose its crispness when refrigerated. To re-crisp them, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes.

Can I freeze Pumpkin Puff Pastry Twists?

Absolutely! To freeze the twists, allow them to cool completely and then place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw them in the fridge and heat in the oven to restore their crispiness.

What can I use instead of pumpkin puree?

If you don't have pumpkin puree on hand, sweet potato puree or butternut squash puree can be a great substitute. Both alternatives offer a similar texture and flavor profile while delivering the same delicious autumn sensations.

Can I make these pumpkin twists gluten-free?

Yes! Using gluten-free puff pastry will allow you to enjoy these pumpkin twists without the gluten. Many grocery stores now carry gluten-free options that work well for this recipe.

How can I make my twists extra sweet?

For a sweeter twist, consider adding a bit more brown sugar to the pumpkin filling or a drizzle of warm caramel sauce when serving. You can also add mini chocolate chips for a fun surprise.

Easy Delicious Pumpkin Puff Pastry Twists

1 package Puff pastry sheets
1 cup Pumpkin puree
½ cup Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
1 Egg (for wash)
1 tablespoon Water
Powdered sugar (for dusting) to taste

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and align your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets until they’re smooth. Cut them into strips about 1 inch wide for twisting.
In a bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice to create the filling.
Spread an even amount of the pumpkin filling down the center of each pastry strip, leaving some edge room for twisting.
Gently twist the pastry strips into spirals, ensuring that the filling stays inside and place them on the baking sheet.
Whisk the egg with water and brush this mixture over each twist to give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Once baked, let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, and they are ready to serve!

Notes

Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking for that perfect golden finish. Use a quality pumpkin puree for best results.
