Cinnamon Pie Recipe
Cinnamon Pie combines a premade pie crust with a filling made from cream cheese, brown sugar, eggs, half and half, flour, and cinnamon for a spiced custard-like dessert. The pie bakes to set edges with a soft, jiggly center that firms upon cooling. It offers a creamy texture accented by cinnamon's warm spice and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving. This dish suits those seeking a subtly sweet, cinnamon-flavored pie with a smooth, rich filling.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust unbaked, premade 9 inch
- 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 egg large
- 1 1/4 cup half and half
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the pre-made pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan. Crimp the edges of the pie crust and place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Beat together the brown sugar and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
- Then beat in the eggs, one at a time until all are combined. Then on low speed, mix in the half and half, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt until the mixture is combined and smooth.
- Pour the cinnamon filling into the pie crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are set.
- The center will still be jiggly but it will continue to set as the pie cools.
- Let the pie cool completely at room temperature. Then cover the pie and chill for at least 2-4 hours.
- When you are ready to serve, let the pie sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Dust the top of the pie with the powdered sugar, then the pie is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This pie can be made the night before serving; cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to five days.
- Allow the pie to rest at room temperature before slicing for the best texture.
