Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust
Spices and Sweeteners:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Binding and Topping Ingredients:
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for precise baking conditions.
- Dust your clean countertop with flour and stretch the pie crust into a thin rectangular shape.
- Drizzle ¼ cup melted butter across the entire surface of the crust, ensuring complete coverage.
- Combine ½ cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a small mixing bowl, blending thoroughly.
- Scatter the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly across the buttered crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the crust into a tight, compact log from the longer side, maintaining consistent pressure.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick individual sections.
- Transfer the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 25 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
- Whisk ½ cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth and glossy.
- Remove rolls from oven and immediately drizzle the prepared icing over the warm surface.
Notes
- Rolling the crust on a well-floured surface prevents sticking and helps create a clean, even shape.
- Brush the melted butter generously to ensure the cinnamon sugar mixture adheres perfectly and creates a rich flavor.
- Cut the rolls with a sharp knife or dental floss for clean, precise slices that hold their shape during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional pie crust with a gluten-free pastry dough to accommodate dietary needs.
