Notes
- Cinnamon rolls are a great way to use up leftover pie crust from another dish.
- Only use thawed pie crust.
- Do not overbake your rolls. You want the outsides golden and the pie crust cooked through but not burnt.
- Roll out the pie crust to ⅛-inch thickness for even cooking and a perfect texture.
- Use a sharp serrated knife or unflavored dental floss to cut even 1-inch thick slices.
