Ingredients

Scale

For the Rolls:

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crust, 2 sheets)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the 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.
  2. Prepare the Pie Crust:

    • Lay the pie crust flat on a clean surface. Use a rolling pin to slightly roll out the crust if needed, to smooth out any wrinkles.
  3. Make the Filling:

    • Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the pie crust.
    • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered pie crust.
  4. Roll the Crust:

    • Carefully roll up the pie crust starting from one edge, creating a log. Roll tightly but gently to prevent the filling from spilling out.
  5. Cut the Rolls:

    • Slice the rolled-up dough into 1-inch sections using a sharp knife or dental floss. Place the individual cinnamon rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake the Rolls:

    • Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  7. Make the Glaze:

    • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add more milk if you want a thinner glaze.
  8. Glaze the Rolls:

    • Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
  9. Serve:

    • Serve your pie crust cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy the sweet, cinnamon goodness!

Notes

  • You can also add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the filling for an extra crunch.
  • If you don’t have pie crust, you can use store-bought crescent roll dough as an alternative for a similar texture.

 

  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
