Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Prepare the pie crust

Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface to ensure it's even and thin.

Pro tip: Chill the crust for 10 minutes if it's too soft to handle.

3

Mix the filling

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

4

Spread the filling

Brush the melted butter over the entire surface of the pie crust. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered crust.

5

Roll and slice

Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pie crust into a tight log. Slice the log into 2 cm (about 1 inch) pieces.

Pro tip: Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.

6

Bake

Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Pro tip: Check for a golden colour and a firm texture.
