Ingredients
1 box pre-made pie dough (2 sheets)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pie dough.
If needed, gently roll it out to smooth any creases or to achieve your desired thickness.
Step 3: Brush with Butter
Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter evenly over the surface of the dough.
Step 4: Sprinkle the Sugar Mixture
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered dough.
Step 5: Shape and Cut
Option 1 – Pinwheels: Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into 1-inch pieces.
Option 2 – Strips: Cut the dough into strips and twist them for a fun shape.
Option 3 – Hand Pies: Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes, fold them over, and seal the edges with a fork.
Step 6: Bake
Place the prepared pieces on the lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Let the treats cool for a few minutes before serving.
Optionally, drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
