Ingredients

16 ounces Pillsbury's Butter Flake Crescent Rolls (equivalent to 2 eight ounce tubes)
1 egg yolk
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
6 teaspoons fresh orange juice (divided)
1/2 cup puree'd pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, pumpkin pie spice, granulated sugar. cream cheese, 2 teaspoons of fresh orange juice, and the pumpkin puree'.
Stir until all of the ingredients are well combined.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flatten each crescent roll.
Place 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of pumpkin filling onto each one.
Roll each piece of dough and shape into crescents.
Bake for 8-15 minutes, or until light brown.
While the rolls are cooling, make the glaze.
In a small bowl, combine the orange zest, 4 teaspoons of orange juice, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
With a small spoon, drizzle the glaze over each of the rolls.

Notes

Rolling the crescents will cause some of the filling to leak out. This is ok. If the glaze becomes to thick, add a little more orange juice until it is at a spreadable consistency.
