PIE CRUST CINNAMON ROLLS
There always seems to be at least a little bit of leftover crust when you make a pie. This recipe puts those leftover scraps to use! These are great for the family to snack on before the pie is served. My mom used to always make these when I was growing up and I have continued to do it as well. I use a gluten free pie crust recipe and they still come out great! Sometimes I'll spread strawberry jam in with the butter and omit the cinnamon.

Steps:
- Sprinkle pastry cloth liberally with corn starch or sweet rice flour. Roll out the pie crust very very thin (about 6x12 at 1/8" thick) in a rectangle.
- Brush the soft butter on carefully with a knife (or your fingers) so that it covers the whole rectangle in a thin layer (use more or less butter as needed). Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter.
- Roll up from the shorter end. Leave the seam side down and fold the ends under (I usually cut them off and eat them). Then cut into 1 inch pieces and put in an oven safe dish along with your pie (350 degrees works well) and bake for about 20-30 minutes.
- For a very flakey pastry-like crust, roll out dough very thin, then fold it in half multiple times until it is a small square. Then pick up and shape back into a ball and re-roll it out again. Repeat 2-3 times re-sprinkling pastry cloth and rolling pin with corn starch or sweet rice flour in between. For easier handling, split into 3-4 separate balls before rolling out the last time.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Pie Crust: Opt for a store-bought or homemade pie crust that is flaky and buttery. Avoid using a graham cracker crust or a cookie crust, as they will not hold up well when rolled and filled.
- Soften the Butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to spread and mix into the other ingredients.
- Use Cold Cream Cheese: Use cold cream cheese directly from the refrigerator. This will help keep the frosting stable and less likely to melt.
- Roll the Crust Thin: Roll out the pie crust to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. This will ensure that the rolls are cooked evenly and have a crispy outer layer.
- Don't Overfill the Rolls: Be careful not to overfill the rolls with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Too much filling can cause the rolls to burst open while baking.
- Let the Rolls Cool Slightly: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Creating pie crust cinnamon rolls at home is a delightful and rewarding experience. With careful attention to detail and a bit of practice, you can master this delicious treat. Remember to choose the right pie crust, soften the butter, use cold cream cheese, roll the crust thinly, avoid overfilling the rolls, and let them cool slightly before frosting. Enjoy the aroma and taste of these homemade cinnamon rolls that will surely satisfy your sweet cravings and impress your loved ones. Happy baking!
