Best Cinnamon Roll Pie With Brown Sugar Topping Recipes

PECAN CINNAMON ROLL PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Stir the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Unroll the pie dough onto a floured surface. Press the cinnamon sugar into the dough with your hands (try not to stretch the dough). Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Refrigerate the crust until firm, about 1 hour.
• Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake on the hot baking sheet until golden around the edges and set on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until crisp and golden all over, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool; leave the baking sheet in the oven.
• Make the filling: Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vinegar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the melted butter, then stir in the pecans until evenly coated. Scrape the mixture into the cooled crust.
• Bake the pie on the hot baking sheet until set and bubbling at the edges, 55 to 60 minutes. (Cover the crust with foil if it darkens too quickly.) Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the glaze: Mix the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl with a fork or small whisk until smooth. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag and snip a corner; pipe over the pie.

CINNAMON ROLL CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the pie crust:.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the 3 pie dough sheets and roll into a rectangle roughly 22 x 10 inches, dusting with flour if needed to prevent it sticking to the rolling pin and work surface.
• Mix the melted butter and vanilla together in a small bowl. Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate small bowl.
• Brush the dough all over with the melted butter mixture. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-sugar.
• Starting at a long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a snake. Cut the dough into pieces 1/2-inch thick to make tiny 'cinnamon roll' pieces.
• Take 2/3 of these cinnamon roll pieces and gently roll each one with a rolling pin to flatten slightly. Then place these all over the base and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use your fingertips to firmly press them together into an even layer. Make sure there are no gaps.
• Place the remaining cinnamon roll pieces onto a lined cookie sheet spaced 1 inch apart and set aside.
• Blind bake the pie crust:.
• Cut a large piece of parchment paper then use it to line the pie pan on top of the cinnamon roll pastry. Pour in ceramic baking beans or uncooked rice to weigh down the pie dough.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Lift away the baking beans with the parchment paper and bake for a further 5 minutes.
• Set aside the baked crust.
• Bake the top pieces:.
• Take the cookie sheet of extra cinnamon roll pieces and bake for 20 minutes.
• Set aside to cool.
• Make the cream filling:.
• Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a pot and stir together briefly. Add the milk and cream and stir together.
• Place the egg yolks into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Place the milk mixture over a medium-low heat on the stove and stir until it thickens. Remove from the heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of this hot mixture into the egg yolks and quickly stir together.
• Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pot of milk mixture.
• Return to a low heat and stir for 2 minutes then remove from the heat. While hot, stir in the vanilla and butter then set aside to cool.
• Finish the pie:.
• Once the crust has blind baked, pour in the cooked creamy filling and spread into an even layer.
• Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F and bake the pie for a further 15-20 minutes until browned on top.
• Top with the baked cinnamon roll pieces in a decorative pattern.
• Set aside to cool completely before slicing and serving.

OOEY-GOOEY CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and salt; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk mixture, eggs and 1 1/2 cup flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• While dough is rising, melt 3/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with 1/2 cup pecans; set aside. Melt remaining butter; set aside. Combine remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, roll into an 18x14 inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter, leaving 1/2 inch border uncovered; sprinkle with brown sugar cinnamon mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. With serrated knife, cut into 15 pieces; place cut side down, in prepared pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes, then invert onto serving platter. Scrape remaining filling from the pan onto the rolls.

CINNAMON SUGAR CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender, incorporate the butter by "cutting it in" to the flour until the butter forms small, pea-size pieces.
• Pair this topping with a traditional pastry pie shell and the filling of your choice. Once the filling has been placed in the pie shell, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar crumb topping evenly over the filling until it is completely covered. Bake as directed.
