    A buttery crescent roll dough filled with pumpkin filling and baked to perfection. Finish off with a drizzle of maple syrup glaze!
    Makes 6 servings - 6 WW Points per serving!

    Saturday morning we woke up to our first frost and it was BRR!  Grumpy was up early because he intended to go out bow hunting.  I was going to try to sleep and stayed in bed at first, but it was no good.  I was awake and nothing I could do about it.  I got out of bed and made my cup of coffee and sat in the living room while Grumpy commented that he really didn't want to go out.  At first I thought it was because he didn't want to go in the cold and when I said something he reminded me that it was because he didn't like to go out alone.


    Ever since we have moved, Grumpy hasn't enjoyed hunting as much because he doesn't have his dad.  I can guarantee that if my boots and bibs had arrived in the mail before this morning, he would have been packing me up to go.

    Grumpy left and I sat at my computer for a little bit writing up posts and looking over photos.  I finally decided I needed to get up and get breakfast going because I expected Grumpy home by 9 or a little after.  

    I used the Pillsbury Crescent Sheet, subbed a heaping teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for the spices mixture, reduced the sugar to ¼ cup and didn't mix nuts in with the pumpkin.  I did consider a cheese filling layered with the pumpkin, but found I had no cream cheese - or I would have definitely added that to the recipe!  When warm I drizzled it with a maple glaze and topped with some toasted walnuts.  A delicious and easy recipe to make.  It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when you barely spent 10 minutes preparing it.  This is ready in all of 30 minutes!

    If you don't care for pumpkin, you can always create your own filling for this braid.  Apple, Cheese, Cherry, Blueberry, the possibilities are endless and yummy!  However, the pumpkin was awesome and I wouldn't hesitate to make this one again!

        Bella, I updated this post to add the recipe card so the instructions were more clear. The maple syrup is used to make the drizzle (with confectioner sugar)

        🙂 and I have more pumpkin to come. When there are just two people in the house it takes a little longer to use up your ingredients!

      I didn't know Pillsbury made dough sheets now. That's a great idea. Such a pretty braid!

        The sheets are great for a recipe like this and handy to have when you don't feel like doing all the work! Thanks Barbara!
