These Pumpkin Spice Cruffins are flaky, buttery pastries swirled with spiced pumpkin filling and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Made with crescent roll dough, they’re the perfect 30-minute fall treat that tastes like a cozy bakery delight.

Ingredients

For the Cruffins:

2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting work surface)

3 tablespoons pumpkin puree

Two 8-ounce tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 to 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Glaze:

1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted

1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream (or water)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray or grease six wells of a muffin pan; if using a 12-cup pan, stagger the cruffins for even baking.
  2. Unroll crescent dough onto a floured surface, creating two large rectangles. Pinch seams to seal.
  3. Spread pumpkin puree evenly over one rectangle, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  4. In a small bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Sprinkle half the mixture evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  5. Place the second dough rectangle on top, sandwiching the filling between the layers. Slice into six long strips (about 1½ inches wide).
  6. Roll each strip tightly like a cinnamon roll, then sprinkle the tops with the remaining sugar-spice mixture.
  7. Place each roll into a muffin cup and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed, golden, and set.
  8. While baking, prepare the glaze: whisk confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, adjusting thickness as desired.
  9. Cool the cruffins slightly, then drizzle with glaze and serve warm.

Notes

For deeper flavor, mix a tablespoon of brown sugar or maple syrup into the pumpkin puree.

Top with chopped pecans or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before baking for texture.

Replace the glaze with a cream cheese version for extra richness.

To reheat, warm in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 5 minutes or microwave for 10–15 seconds.

They’re best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
