  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional, for extra warmth)

For the Glaze (Optional but Delicious!):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the buttered pie crust.

3. Roll & Slice:

  • Roll the pie crust tightly into a log from the long edge.
  • Slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.

4. Bake Until Golden Brown:

  • Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp.

5. Make the Glaze & Drizzle (Optional):

  • Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls before serving.

Notes

  • No pie dough? Use store-bought refrigerated pie crust for a quick fix.
  • Make them extra crispy! Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
  • Add-ins: Try adding chopped pecans, raisins, or mini chocolate chips before rolling.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
