Ingredients

Dough

  • 3½ Cups Flour plus more for dusting
  • 2¼ teaspoons Instant Yeast
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Butter softened
  • 1 Egg large

Cinnamon Filling

  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
  • ¼ Cup Butter softened, room temperature

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 3 Ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • ¼ Cup Butter softened
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1½ Cups Powdered Suger

Crust

  • Refrigerated Pie Crust 9 inch

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200℉.
  • Combine the flour and yeast in a large bowl.
  • Combine the milk, sugar, and butter in a separate microwave-safe bowl.
  • Microwave for 1 minute.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer. Stir until a dough ball forms.
  • Add the egg and continue stirring.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add 2 tablespoons of flour. It should not be super sticky when you touch it.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel and set aside for 10 minutes while you make the filling.
  • Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough out to about 12x16 inches. Trim off the ends to get an even rectangle.
  • Spread the ¼ cup of softened butter on the dough.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon filling on the buttered dough.
  • Slice the dough into 8 even strips.
  • Place the pie dough in a 9-inch pie pan and flute the edges if desired.
  • Roll up each strip into a roll and place into the pie crust.
  • Turn off the oven. This is extremely important.
  • Cover the pie with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Take the pie out of the oven and remove the foil.
  • Turn the oven to 350℉.
  • When the oven at 350℉ put the pie back in and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Place on a cooling rack to cool slightly while making the frosting.
  • Use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar until a thick frosting forms.
  • Spread the frosting over the slightly cooled pie.
  • Slice and serve.
