  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your thawed puff pastry into a large rectangle.

  4. Spread the pumpkin filling evenly over the rolled-out pastry, leaving a half-inch border.
  5. Fold the pastry in half over the filling and press down on the edges to seal.
  6. Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  7. Twist each strip several times before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of each twist with beaten egg for a rich finish.
