Ingredients For Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

Pull Apart Bread

  • Egg – A large egg will bind the pumpkin mixture.
  • Pumpkin puree – Be sure to buy pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Sugar – Sugar will add sweetness to the pumpkin mixture and will also coat the biscuit dough.
  • Vanilla extract – Vanilla will enhance the flavor of this delicious and unique pull apart bread.
  • Cinnamon – Fall baking is never complete without adding ground cinnamon!
  • Pumpkin pie spice – Typically this is a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove. You should be able to find pumpkin pie spice in the spice aisle at your grocery store.
  • Pillsbury Grands Biscuits – Homestyle or buttermilk, whichever is most loved in your household, will work well for this pumpkin pull apart loaf.

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • Cream cheese – Leave the cream cheese out for about 30 minutes to soften it so it is easier to mix.
  • Powdered sugar – This will dissolve easily and sweeten the yummy glaze.
  • Milk – Use whichever milk you have on hand, the higher the fat, the richer the glaze!

How To Make Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

In a medium sized mixing bowl beat the egg, pumpkin puree, ¼ cup sugar, and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl mix the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.

Cut the biscuits in half lengthwise and coat all sides with sugar mixture.

Pro Tips

  • If your glaze seems too thick, add more milk a little at a time until you can drizzle the glaze.

Storage

Fridge: Store pumpkin pull apart bread in an airtight container for about 4 days.

Freezer: Wrap cooled pumpkin loaf tightly in plastic wrap before storing in an airtight container. You can store with the glaze on, or add it after thawing overnight in the fridge before serving.
