  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree

Glaze

  • 1-2 Tbsp. milk

Instructions

  • Roll out the crescent dough on parchment, pinch holes, and spread cream cheese mixture in the center. Cut diagonal strips along the sides.
  • Mix pumpkin puree, remaining sugar, and pumpkin spice; spread over the cream cheese area. Fold ends and strips over the filling to form a braid.
