Filling
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar

Glaze
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions
Dough
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl and let stand five minutes. Add 2/3 cup flour, pumpkin, milk, butter, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla to bowl and mix well. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead on low 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough forms a ball and is mostly no longer sticky. (May still be a bit tacky)
- Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl and cover. Place bowl in a warm place and allow dough to rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Filling
- Combine sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Cut in butter with two forks or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles course crumbs.
- Punch dough down. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 12x12 inches. Sprinkle with filling. Roll tightly, pinch ends to seal, and slice into 9 sections. Place sections flat side down in a well greased 8x8 inch square pan. Cover and allow to rise about 30 more minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375. Bake rolls about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
Glaze
- Mix together powdered sugar, milk, maple extract, and maple syrup. Drizzle over rolls and serve warm.
Notes
- Serve immediately or store in airtight container at room temperature up to three days.
