Mini Pumpkin Pie Crescents


Recipe from: http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/08/mini-pumpkin-pie-crescents-recipe.html

Mini pumpkin pie crescents would make a perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert.  The main ingredients are refrigerator crescent rolls, pumpkin pie filling, cream cheese, and spices.  This bite sized snack is supposed to taste similar to pumpkin pie.

I really liked this recipe.  I thought it turned out great.  The flavor wasn't too overwhelming, but you could definitely taste the pumpkin and the spices.  I thought the mini pumpkin pie crescents were even better than pumpkin pie because I prefer the crescent roll to pie crust.

One thing I liked about this recipe was that it was easy to make because there weren't too many ingredients.  I also liked how quick it was.  It only took about 35 minutes to prepare, bake, and clean up.  I thought the size was perfect because you could eat 2-3 and not feel stuffed. Lastly, I thought the taste was really good.  The cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice added a lot of flavor.  The only thing I didn't like about this recipe was that it only used 1 cup of canned pumpkin and half a block of cream cheese, so what I didn't use will probably end up going to waste.

I liked the mini pumpkin pies plain, but you could eat them with whipped topping.  I also think some warm apple cider would make this a perfect fall snack.

One change I would make to this recipe would be to cut it in half.  It made 32 mini pumpkin pies, which is more than I could eat.  I think I may also try spraying the pan lightly next time to make the pan easier to wash.
