Description

Irresistible Cinnamon Rolls Pie Crust brings classic comfort to dessert tables with a delightful twist. Sweet spirals of cinnamon and buttery pastry create a mouthwatering treat you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Pie Filling and Spice:

  • 2 refrigerator pie crusts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed

Butter and Liquid:

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tablespoons milk

Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare parchment-lined baking sheets.
  2. Lay out pie crust on a clean surface, ensuring a flat workspace.
  3. Generously coat the entire pie crust with melted butter using a pastry brush.
  4. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl, creating a fragrant spice blend.
  5. Distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the pie crust, leaving a small border along one edge.
  6. Carefully roll the crust into a tight cylinder, pressing the seam firmly to seal.
  7. Slice the rolled crust into uniform segments, approximately 1-inch thick.
  8. Discard uneven end pieces to maintain consistent roll shapes.
  9. Arrange rolls cut-side up on prepared baking sheets, ensuring slight separation between pieces.
  10. Bake for 17-20 minutes until edges turn golden and pastry appears crisp.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  12. Transfer rolls to a wire rack for complete cooling.
  13. Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzling consistency.
  14. Use a fork to elegantly drizzle glaze over cooled cinnamon rolls.
  15. Allow glaze to set for 30 minutes before serving or enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure melted butter is warm but not hot to prevent pie crust from becoming soggy.
  • Roll the crust tightly and evenly to create uniform, beautiful cinnamon rolls with consistent texture.
  • Adjust milk gradually when making glaze to achieve perfect drizzling thickness without becoming too runny or thick.
  • Prepare rolls ahead and freeze unbaked for convenient make-ahead breakfast or dessert option that saves time.
