These easy Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls are quick, buttery, and delicious! Made with pre-made pie crusts, they are the perfect treat for any time of day. A simple yet irresistible dessert topped with a sweet glaze

Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the rolls:

    • 2 refrigerator pie crusts (allow them to thaw on the counter for a few minutes)
    • 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
    • 6 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  2. For the glaze:

    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 12 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Unroll a pie crust and place it on a clean work surface.
  • Brush the pie crust all over with half of the melted butter.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture all over the pie crust, leaving a ½ inch border along half of the pie crust edge facing away from you.
  • Start rolling the crust tightly over the filling. When you reach the end, press the seams together well.
  • Cut the roll into ½ inch pieces. The end pieces may need to be discarded as they won’t form a sealed roll.
  • Place the mini rolls, cut side up, onto the prepared sheet tray.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining pie crust, butter, and cinnamon sugar.
  • Once the rolls are cool, make the glaze by adding 1 ½ tablespoons of milk to the powdered sugar in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk to reach a pourable consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls using a fork or spoon.

 

  • Serve immediately or allow the glaze to set for about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the milk a bit. If you like it thinner, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  • These cinnamon rolls are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.

 

  • You can also use a pie crust from scratch if you prefer homemade dough.
