With Covid, not everyone is going to the Disney parks. However, if you want some Disney in your life, we’ve gathered some fall recipes from the parks that you can make at home!
Pumpkin Twist
The pumpkin twist is a Disneyland Favorite. It can be found at Troubadour Tavern, Maurice’s Treats, the Cozy Cone Hotel.
AuthorCarolyn AmbacherCombine brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and instant pectin in a bowl. Stir in pumpkin puree until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Place one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface, such as a cutting board. Lightly dust surface of pastry with flour and roll lightly just to smooth creases.
Spread with 1/3 cup of pumpkin mixture, stopping 1/4-inch from edges.
Roll a second sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth creases; place on top of first sheet and press down gently. Repeat process two more times with remaining pastry sheets and remaining filling. Refrigerate filled pastry 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone mat.
Working with one filled pastry at a time, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips.
Place strips on baking sheet spacing about 1/2-inch apart. Carefully lift strips and twist each 3 times before laying down. (Leave remaining filled pastry in refrigerator until ready to bake.)
Mix together coarse sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice.
Beat egg and milk together in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush each twist with egg wash and evenly sprinkle evenly with coarse sugar mixture.
Bake 22 to 24 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat process two more times, cutting and baking one remaining filled pastry at a time.
