Delight in the cozy flavors of fall with these Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie Twists. Made with flaky puff pastry, spiced pumpkin filling, and a touch of brown sugar, these twists offer a quick and easy dessert that’s perfectly crisp and golden from the air fryer. Ideal for a festive treat or a sweet snack, they combine the essence of pumpkin pie in a fun, handheld form.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Pastry

  • 1 package puff pastry (thawed, approx. 2 sheets)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the pumpkin filling and pastry.
  2. Prepare the pumpkin filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly blended to create a smooth, flavorful filling.
  3. Spread the filling on puff pastry: Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a clean surface. Evenly spread the pumpkin mixture over the surface of the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling during cooking.
  4. Cut and twist the pastry strips: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the puff pastry with filling into strips about 1 inch wide. Take each strip and gently twist it several times to form the twists.
  5. Air fry the twists: Carefully place the pumpkin pie twists in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Cook for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the twists from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • The pumpkin pie spice typically contains cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves – adjust amount based on your spice preference.
  • Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before working with it to avoid cracking.
  • You can sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle icing for extra sweetness after baking.
  • Serve these twists as a quick dessert or alongside coffee or tea for a cozy snack.
  • If you want a crisper texture, you can air fry for an additional 2–3 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
