Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon Haddar Baking Powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Extract
1 and 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup oil
1 Glicks Graham Cracker Crust
2 ounces (1/4 package) non-dairy cream cheese
1 and 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Gefen Soy Milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, on medium speed, beat together oil and sugars until combined and creamy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time. Add baking powder, and vanilla, beating well to combine after each addition.
  • Turn mixer speed to low; gradually add flour. Beat until combined. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oil until smooth. Set aside.
  • When filling pie crust, be careful to add each layer very gently, so you don't break the crust. Pour one fourth of the batter into the graham cracker crust; use a flexible spatula to smooth the top. Top with one fourth of the filling. Smooth the top.
  • Repeat the process, ending with the batter. Note that the batter will be hard to spread; you can make fewer layers so that it is easier to assemble.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until top is set. It's meant to be soft in the center, so don't overbake it.
  • Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  • For best results, serve warm. Drizzle glaze over each slice just before serving.

CINNAMON BUN APPLE PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 14.5-ounce box refrigerated pie dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/8 teaspoons ground cinnamon
5 assorted apples, such as McIntosh, Granny Smith and Pink Lady (about 2 pounds)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 piece of dough; refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • Make the cinnamon-roll crust: Lay the remaining piece of dough on a lightly floured surface and spread the butter evenly on top. Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over the butter, then gently press with your fingers to help the mixture adhere. Roll the pie dough into a tight log. Trim and discard about 1 1/2 inches from both ends; cut the remaining log crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the pieces cut-side down in a snug circle on floured parchment paper. Lightly dust with more flour, then gently roll out into a 10-inch round. Slide the parchment onto a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to assemble the pie.
  • Peel and thinly slice the apples. Toss with the lemon juice, vanilla and the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Transfer to the dough-lined pie plate; invert the cinnamon-roll crust on top and peel off the parchment (it's OK if the individual rounds separate a bit in the process). Pinch the crusts together; fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp as desired. Brush with the beaten egg.
  • Set the pie on the hot baking sheet in the oven; bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a bowl until smooth. (Add more milk if the glaze is too thick.) Drizzle over the pie.

CINNAMON ROLL CREAM PIE



Cinnamon Roll Cream Pie image

A new take on the beloved cinnamon roll, this pie's crust and topping is a glorious display of mini cinnamon rolls with a sumptuous creamy cinnamon filling.

Provided by Food.com

Categories     Pie

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 boxed pie crusts (3 sheets total)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

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.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cinnamon bun dough into even pieces.
  • Don't overwork the dough when rolling it out. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the pie crust. If the pie crust is too full, it will be difficult to seal and the filling may spill out.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the pie to hold its shape better.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon bun pie crust is a delicious and easy way to add a touch of sweetness to your favorite pies. Whether you are making a classic apple pie or a more unique pumpkin pie, a cinnamon bun pie crust will take your dessert to the next level. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to make pie, try using a cinnamon bun pie crust. You won't be disappointed.
