Separate each biscuit into halves to make thinner layers.

In a small bowl, mix together ¾ cup of pumpkin puree, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg. This will create the spiced pumpkin filling.
Step 4: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer
In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with ¼ cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5: Layer the Dough
Take each piece of dough, brush one side with melted butter, and spread a thin layer of the pumpkin filling on top. Next, spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture on top of the pumpkin layer. Stack 3-4 pieces of dough at a time and place them vertically in the loaf pan. Repeat until the pan is filled.
