Ingredients

  • 1 crescent dough sheet
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp. caramel sauce
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spread crescent dough sheet out in the baking sheet so it touches each corner.
  • In a large bowl, cream together softened cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture down the center of the dough sheet.
  • In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Spread the pumpkin mixture on top of the cream cheese.
  • With kitchen scissors, cut the ends of the dough up towards the filled center in 1-inch strips.
  • Take an end strip and begin overlapping each strip until a braid forms. Tuck in or trim ends.
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly brush on the egg wash.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until dough is completely cooked through and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Pro tip: Make a batch of the cream cheese filling to spread on a toasted bagel!
