Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1.0 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 0.333 cup brown sugar
  • 1.0 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp ground ginger
  • 0.25 tsp allspice
  • 1.0 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1.0 tbsp granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
  • Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
  • Add Filling: Place 1-2 teaspoons of the pumpkin filling on one end of each pastry strip. Be careful not to overfill.
  • Twist the Pastry: Starting from the end with the filling, carefully twist each strip to create a spiral shape—this will help the filling stay inside while cooking.
  • Egg Wash: Place the twisted pastry on a parchment-lined air fryer basket. Brush the tops with the beaten egg using a pastry brush, and then sprinkle with granulated sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
  • Air Fry the Twists: Cook the twists in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to do this in batches.
  • Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pumpkin pie twists from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. They’re delightful served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
