Cinnamon Roll Pie Crust

By punk

Ingredients

• 1 package pie crust
• – 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• – 1/2 cup brown sugar
• – 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• – 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

On a lightly-floured surface, roll out the pie crust until it’s even and about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the butter with the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract until combined.
Spoon the mixture into the center of the crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the entire crust.
Starting with the side closest to you, roll the crust into a tight spiral. Slice the finished spiraled roll into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
On a lightly-floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each piece into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
Place the pieces in a pie plate, overlapping them slightly and pressing to seal. If the pieces aren’t sticking together well, use a little water to help “glue” them. Continue until the entire pie plate is full.
Trim any excess hanging over the edge. Use the tines of a fork to press indentations all around the edge.
Chill the crust well before filling and baking according to your preferred pie recipe.
