Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodle Pie

Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodle Pie

This snickerdoodle pie is what cinnamon sugar dreams are made of! Fluffy deep dish pie topped with a vanilla cinnamon glaze… YUM! The perfect holiday pie!

I must admit, Snickerdoodle Cookies turn into a delicious Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodle Pie…

Before we get into this delicious Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodle Pie, let me tell you a story… I remember the very first time I had Snickerdoodles.  They weren’t fresh, or even great quality.  They were boxed from the dollar store.

I was working at my dad’s office for the summer (or maybe just hanging out there since I was probably around 12 at the time) and his office manager decided to go to the dollar store to pick up some missing items.

I asked to go with her and she obliged.  Once we got there, she went straight to the cookie aisle and picked up a small box of Snickerdoodles.  I asked what in the world those were! She told me she couldn’t explain, I just had to try them.

And I did.  Perfectly chewy, cinnamon sugar coated buttery cookies that were a dream come true.  Even the dollar store kind.  I was obsessed.

Every time I went to the dollar store with my grandma, I made her buy me some.  I couldn’t get enough!  I tried making them a couple of times, but it just never worked out as well as the boxed kind (call me crazy, I KNOW!).

Anyway, this Thanksgiving, I decided I wanted a Snickerdoodle presence.  You know, not everyone loves chocolate (it’s almost a crime…), so I wanted something fall-ish to serve them! I figured Snickerdoodle cookies would be good, but then thought of a better idea…

CINNAMON SUGAR SNICKERDOODLE PIE!

Yep, your read that right.  Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodle Pie: A nice flaky crust, a caramel like syrup and a thick, cake like snickerdoodle filling.  Then all that topped with a (thick) drizzle of cream cheese frosting for the perfect tart finish. Sooo good, you guys!

I made this a couple of times to test it and we just kept eating it all up.  Keep some extra cream cheese drizzle… you never know when you want a little extra… ;)

Ingredients

  

• 1 Pillsbury or homemade pie crust
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon divided
• 1 tablespoon butter melted

For the Syrup:

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla

For the Filling:

• 1 teaspoon vanilla divided
• 1/4 cup butter softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 3 ounces cream cheese softened
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• dash of cinnamon

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare thawed or homemade pie crust in pie dish and set aside. Stir cinnamon, sugar and butter and brush all over crust.
• To prepare the syrup: Place brown sugar, water, corn syrup and butter in saucepan.  Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes).  Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and set aside.
• For the filling: Beat butter in a stand mixer until creamy (about 1 minute).  Add in sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, followed by milk until combined.  Lastly, gently beat in the flour.
• Pour filling into pie crust.  Top with syrup.  Add another sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar if you'd like an extra sweet kick. ;)
• Cover pie with a folded piece of foil (it will look like a little tent) and bake for 25 minutes.  Remove foil and cook for another 20 minutes.  Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center that comes out clean.  Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about an hour before adding glaze.
• To make glaze: combine all glaze ingredients until smooth.  Add more milk for a more runny consistency or more sugar for a thicker glaze.  Once pie is cooled, drizzle over the top and enjoy!
