- Pumpkin Puree: Adds a warm, earthy flavor characteristic of pumpkin pie.
- Cream Cheese: Offers a creamy, tangy complement to the sweetness of the filling.

Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree

- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
