It’s time for a little pumpkin treat!

These tempting little rolls are a breeze to put together and bake

Crescent roll dough, brown sugar, pumpkin puree,

pumpkin pie spice, sugar and walnuts

Mix the pumpkin puree with the sugars and pumpkin pie spice

Stir in the nuts

I used chopped honey roasted walnuts,

found in the salad dressing section of the grocery store,

but roasted pecans would be wonderful too

Lay out the dough triangles and place a heaping Tablespoon of filling

on the bottom of each triangle

Roll up the dough, tucking the filling inside, to form rolls

Put rolls on a sprayed or lined baking sheet

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10-13 minutes until golden

While rolls are baking, make the maple glaze

Mix powdered sugar with maple syrup and milk or cream

Let the rolls cool for 10 minutes and then spoon on the glaze

Top with a few more chopped walnuts

Serve these for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack
