    Bring on all the fall flavours. I love summer, but there is something about baking with all the warm, cozy spices this time of year. Pumpkin recipes and apple recipes are the best.

    I absolutely love working with puff pastry. I call it kitchen play-doh.

    I am a bit of a pumpkin fanatic. It would not be Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie for dessert and baked pumpkin donuts for breakfast on the weekends.

    For busy weekdays, overnight pumpkin oats are so easy and delicious.

    I love pumpkin in savoury dishes too. This pumpkin soup recipe is made from scratch and is so easy and delicious. Your family will think you spent hours in the kitchen.

    Suggestions/Recipe Tips

    Pumpkin Puree – I used canned, but feel free to use homemade. Did you know you can freeze puree? Yup, I do it all the time. I open the can, use what I need and freeze the rest for later.

    Pumpkin Spice – This recipe used a combination of cinnamon, ginger and cloves. You can adjust the amount according to your taste. You can also use a blend found in grocery stores, or make your own homemade spice blend.

    Additions – You can add some nuts or pumpkin seeds before rolling.

    Maple Sugar – Can be replaced with brown sugar.

    Glaze – If you prefer, you can omit it, or make it with vanilla instead of syrup. A cream cheese frosting is a great alternative.

    Size/Baking – I made these small, but if you roll the dough starting at the shorter end, the rolls will be larger (cut them into 8). You may have to adjust the baking time. You can also bake them in muffin tins if you prefer.

    Serving/Storing – These are best eaten on the day they are baked. To store, place in a covered container. Note, that the pasty will not be as flaky, but they are still delicious. They will last about 3-4 days at room temperature. I personally would not freeze these rolls.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is puff pastry the same as phyllo dough?

    Puff pastry has a higher fat content with flaky layers. It is much thicker and richer and contains lots of butter. Phyllo dough is paper thin sheets of pastry. Once layered and baked, the end result is crispy and flaky pastry. Both of these can be homemade, or easily found frozen in the grocery store.

    Are pumpkin puree and pie filling the same thing?

    No, they are not. The puree is just cooked, mashed pumpkin, and/or winter squash, with nothing added.
    Pie filling has all the sweetness and spices added. Just pour and bake.
