Ingredients

• 2 store bought refrigerated pie crusts
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator and let sit in the package for 20 minutes at room temperature.

Unroll both pie crusts from the package and brush with the butter. IF you don't have a pastry brush, use a spoon to drizzle the butter over the crusts. Mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar and then sprinkle evenly over both crusts. Tightly roll each crust to make two logs, and then slice each one into 1/4 inch thick circles.

Press the slices into a 9 or 10 inch pie pan, starting from the middle and working your way our to the rim. Using your fingers, mash the slices together so there are no gaps or holes, and the crust is entirely solid.
