Description
Delicious cream cheese pies coated in cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 pie crusts (from scratch or from a package of 2 refrigerated crusts)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until no lumps remain. Mix in ¼ cup sugar and vanilla extract.
- Unroll pie crusts, one at a time. Cut 2” circles of crust, re-rolling as needed.
- Place half the circles on the prepared cookie sheets. Spoon a little bit of the cheesecake mixture into the center.
- Wet your finger with a bit of water and run it around the edge of the pie crust. Place the remaining pie crust rounds on top of the filled ones. Use the tines of a fork to press and seal each pie.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until they begin to turn golden. Let cool until you can touch without burning your fingers.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a microwave safe dish. In a separate bowl, stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Take each still warm pie and brush with butter, then place in the cinnamon sugar and turn over a few times to thoroughly coat. Place on another cookie sheet lined with wax paper to cool.
Notes
- This recipe can be made with store-bought pie crusts for convenience.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
