These Pumpkin Pie Twists Prove Crescent Rolls Are So Last Season

By Jennifer Nigro at University of Vermont

Pumpkin pie is a quintessential part of fall, but let's be honest-- it's pretty time consuming. These pumpkin pie twists are the perfect recipe for when you want the taste of pumpkin pie and don't have a lot of time. They're buttery and savory, but still have sweetness from the cream cheese frosting. Better yet, you can put them in tupperware and they still taste great the next day. I couldn't imagine a tastier way to get your daily recommended value of Vitamin A!
