Super Easy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls for Fall

Ingredients for Rolls

• 2 packages (12 oz) crescent rolls
• 1 can pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar

Ingredients for Icing

• 4 oz softened cream cheese
• 1  cup powdered sugar
• 2 Tbs milk
• 1 Tbs melted butter
• dash of salt

Begin by rolling out the crescent dough from both packages of crescent rolls. Connect the pieces together to create one long rectangle. Pinch the perforations together to seal.

Spread the pumpkin puree across the entire surface. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice and 2/3 cup brown sugar evenly across the pumpkin puree.

Then roll up the dough and slice evenly into 12 rolls OR 6 super thick rolls (if you roll it up the opposite way).

Arrange in a 8×8 baking pan and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees (or longer depending on the thickness of the pumpkin filling, your oven, etc.)

While the pumpkin cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing together all of the icing ingredients. You can add more milk if you want more of a glaze. When the pumpkin cinnamon rolls are finished baking and have had a few minutes to cool (but not long enough to get cold), spread the icing directly over the top and serve while still warm.
