I think we all know how lovely your house smells every time you make cinnamon rolls, don’t we? That scent alone would make me want to bake them every day! But I really don’t want to get bored of them so it’s a great idea to change things up a little, every now and then. This recipe will help you do just that! With very little ingredients you can make yourself this incredible cinnamon roll pie crust – in fact, you may even have all of the ingredients at hand already!
All you need to do after preparing this crust is let it chill, and then fill it with your favorite pie filling before you bake it in the oven.

Ingredients
1 package pie crust
4 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust a few times to even it out to about ½-inch thickness.
Mix the butter with the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract to combine. Spoon mixture into the center of the crust. Spread it evenly over the entire crust.
Starting with the side closest to you, roll the crust into a tight spiral. Cut the finished spiral into ½-inch-thick pieces.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a ¼-inch-thick round. Place them in a pie plate, overlapping slightly and pressing to seal. (Use a bit of water to glue them together, if they aren’t sticking.)
Continue placing these rounds in the pie plate until the entire 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. Bake according to your preferred pie recipe.
