Ingredients
Scale
-
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
-
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 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.
