Description

These Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls are an easy, delicious twist on traditional cinnamon rolls, using ready-made or homemade pie crust for a quick and flaky pastry base. Rolled with a buttery cinnamon sugar filling and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze, they bake up golden and perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack.

Ingredients

Pie Crust Dough

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crust, 2 sheets)

Filling

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk (or more for desired consistency)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Lay the pie crust flat on a clean surface. Use a rolling pin to gently smooth out any wrinkles for an even surface.
  3. Make the Filling: Spread the softened unsalted butter evenly over the entire surface of the pie crust.
  4. Mix and Sprinkle the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered crust for an even flavor distribution.
  5. Roll the Crust: Starting at one edge, carefully roll up the pie crust into a tight log to encase the filling, taking care to avoid spilling.
  6. Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife or dental floss, slice the rolled dough into one-inch thick individual rolls and place them spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  8. Make the Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Adjust milk quantity to achieve a smooth, drizzle-friendly consistency.
  9. Glaze the Rolls: Once baked, remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls.
  10. Serve: Serve these pie crust cinnamon rolls warm to enjoy their flaky texture and sweet cinnamon flavor at their best.

Notes

  • You can use homemade pie crust for a more buttery and flaky texture.
  • For a thinner glaze, add milk gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  • Use dental floss instead of a knife to cut rolls cleanly without squashing them.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently before serving.
