Pillsbury crescent roll dough:You’ll need the crescent roll dough that is divided into triangles (not to be confused with puff pastry.) There isn’t really an adequate substitute for this recipe.
Pumpkin puree: This is just pure pumpkin in the can, not pumpkin pie filling.
Chopped pecans: For even more flavor, toast them first.
Brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: We use our homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice recipe, but store-bought is fine, too. You could also just simply use cinnamon, although it won’t have as much flavor.
Cinnamon and Granulated Sugar: These two ingredients are the best combination, sprinkled on top for a delicious exterior.
Butter: Melted butter is brushed on the baked pastries before the cinnamon/sugar to help it adhere.

Recipe variations

Use a different nut: Replace the pecans with walnuts or almonds. Or simply omit them.
Add in some cream cheese: Include a bit of whipped cream cheese to the filling for a rich, tangy flavor.
Make a glaze: Instead of the cinnamon-sugar coating, you can make a simple glaze out of powdered sugar, milk and maple syrup to drizzle over the top.Yummy!
Replace the pumpkin filling: If pumpkin isn’t your thing, try chocolate or Nutella.
