Pumpkin Spice Twists

Pumpkin Spice Twists are a delicious and easy-to-make pastry that is perfect for fall. These twists are made with a combination of pumpkin puree, warm spices, and puff pastry, resulting in a flaky and flavorful treat that is sure to impress your guests.

To make Pumpkin Spice Twists, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Next, unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and spread the pumpkin spice mixture evenly over the top. Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and press the edges together to seal.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 1/2-inch strips. Twist each strip a few times and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each twist.
Brush the twists with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
Once done, remove the twists from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These Pumpkin Spice Twists are best enjoyed warm and can be served as a sweet breakfast pastry or a tasty dessert.
In two words, this dish can be described as 'Pumpkin Pastry'. The three main ingredients are puff pastry, pumpkin puree, and warm spices.
