My favorite season is pumpkin season. Go ahead, call me basic. I don’t mind. Because there is seriously nothing better than pumpkin season. From the scents to the tastes, it’s a win all round! What I love about pumpkin is that it’s so versatile and it’s so delicious! From soups to pies to pastries, you really can’t go wrong with some pumpkin and spices. I promise. If you don’t have it in you to make a pie (which I totally get, I make them once a year and that’s it), but you’re hankering for something totally basic to perfect your autumn evening and compliment your latte and Ugg boots, then look no further than these deliciously basic Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dumplings!
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dumplings
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dumplings
Ingredients:
- 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/3 c. butter
- 1 can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1/2 c. canned pumpkin
- 2 oz cream cheese, cut into 8 pieces
- 3 Tbsp. apple juice
Process: Warm up that oven to 350F and spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray. In a small bow, mix the sugars and pumpkin pie spice. Cut in the butter using a fork until it’s nice and crumbly. Set aside. Open your crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Spread 1 Tbsp. pumpkin on the widest side of the triangle and sprinkle on some of that sugar goodness. Top with a cube of cream cheese and roll it up, tucking all the end in. Place the dumplings in the baking dish and top with the remaining sugary goodness. Lastly, pour the apple juice over the dumplings and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
This recipe is perfect for all of your holiday parties of the season. Happy fall and happy baking!
