Ingredients Needed

• Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps caramelize the bread
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: Warm blend of spices for classic fall flavor
• Butter: Adds rich flavor and golden texture
• Crescent Dough: Soft, flaky base that twists easily
• Canned Pumpkin: Provides moisture and pumpkin flavor
• Cream Cheese: Creates a smooth, creamy filling
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens and smooths the glaze
• Milk: Thins glaze to perfect drizzling consistency

How To Make Easy Easy Air Fryer Pumpkin Spice Bread Twist

Step One: Line the air fryer with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Cut in butter, using a pastry blender or fork, until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Step Two: Unroll dough on the work surface; press into a rectangle (if using crescent rolls, press seams to seal). Spread the canned pumpkin evenly over the dough to within 1/4 inch of the edges. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the sugar mixture.

Step Three: Roll the dough up, starting at one long side; pinch the seam to seal. Then, use a pizza cutter and cut down the middle. Braid the dough.

Step Four: Place the pumpkin twist into an air fryer safe pan, or place only the parchment paper directly. Set into the air fryer, set air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set cook time for 12-15 minutes.

Step Five: In a small microwavable bowl, place cream cheese. The microwave was uncovered on high for 10-15 seconds to soften slightly. Mix powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the milk until smooth, adding additional milk until thin enough for icing. Drizzle on top of the twist.

Easy Easy Air Fryer Pumpkin Spice Bread Twist Recipe Tips

• Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
• Press crescent dough seams firmly to avoid filling leakage while twisting.
• Adjust air fryer time slightly depending on your model; check for golden brown edges.
• Don’t overfill with pumpkin mixture to prevent soggy bread.
• Drizzle cream cheese glaze while the twist is slightly warm for the best texture.

Storing Instructions

Allow the Pumpkin Spice Bread Twist to cool completely before storing. Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the air fryer or oven before serving to restore its soft, warm texture.
