1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add yeast, warmed water, brown sugar, flour, salt and pumpkin. Mix until combined, then knead dough for 5 minutes on medium speed.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle the spices over the dough, then use your hands to knead the spices into the dough. This will create a marbled affect in the dough and allow the bagels to still have that orange color, rather than turning all brown from the spices

2. Place dough in lightly greased bowl. Spray top of dough with nonstick cooking spray, then cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel and allow to rise in warm place for 45 minutes.

4. Punch down dough and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 8 roughly equal pieces. Roll into a 7×3 inch rectangle. Sprinkle brown sugar cinnamon mixture on half of the rectangle. Fold rectangle in half, then grab each end of the bagel and twist into a spiral. Wrap the bagel into a circle, then pinch to seal the ends together. Place bagels on prepared parchment paper squares. Cover bagels with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 20 minutes

5. Preheat oven to 425F.

6. Fill a large pot of water with 8 cups water. Whisk in the honey and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium high. Grab the corners of the parchment paper square, and gently and carefully place 3 bagels in the hot water. Use a pair of tongs to grab the parchment paper square and pull out of the water. Cook bagels for 1 minute on each side, then using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove the bagels, allow the excess water to drip, and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet.

7. Brush bagels with egg wash. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown in color.

8. Once the bagels are cool, make the cream cheese. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a large mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy, then add remaining ingredients. Beat until smooth and creamy. Split bagel sin half, then spread over the bagels and enjoy!
