Ingredients

  • 16 oz Crescent Dough Sheets two 8-oz packages
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup pure pumpkin
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Topping

  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Pumpkin Glaze

  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  • Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 350degrees F. Then spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray, or line it with nonstick foil like I did.
  • Assemble: Next, open one of the rolls of crescent dough and arrange a sheet of dough on the bottom of the 9x13 pan, gently pressing the dough to fit.
  • Then, in a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, pure pumpkin, granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, whisk together until smooth. Proceed to pour this mixture over the crescent roll sheet in the pan.
  • After that, open the remaining package of crescent dough and arrange on top of the pumpkin mixture, gently pulling sides and corners to fit across the entire top of the mixture and pan. Now, brush melted butter over the top of the dough. Lastly, combine 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and cinnamon, continue to sprinkle that mixture over the top of the melted butter.
  • Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 27-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Let the bars cool for about 30 minutes, then make the glaze.
  • Glaze topping: Whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, milk and pumpkin pie spice for the glaze. Drizzle on top of cooled pastry and if desired, sprinkle with your preference of chopped nuts on top. Refrigerate the bars until completely cool, cut into squares, serve and enjoy!
