    Pies are my favourite dessert because they are so easy to make. This cinnamon pie, with its thick and creamy texture, is my family's favourite. 

    Here are some of my pie recipes that I love so much: Pumpkin Custard Pie, Peach Mango Pie or Chocolate Buttermilk Pie.

    What Is Cinnamon Pie?

    Most people don't know what cinnamon pie is because it is not as well-known as pecan pie or pumpkin pie. And when it comes to cinnamon desserts, it is not as well-known as cinnamon rolls or cinnamon cake.

    So let me tell you little about this pie; cinnamon pie has a sweet taste but not too sweet, it is super flavorful, and it has a tasty creamy filling. 

    Cut a slice of the cinnamon pie.

    Cinnamon Pie Ingredients

    Here are all the ingredients I used in making this recipe:

    • Pie crust. I used store-bought; however, homemade works well too.
    • Cream cheese. Room temperature.
    • Brown sugar. It adds caramelized sweetness to the pie.
    • Eggs. Use eggs at room temperature.
    • Heavy cream. It makes the pie richer.
    • Ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon. For a lovely flavour.
    • Salt. A little goes a long way.
    • All-purpose flour. Measure it correctly.
    • Vanilla extract. It enhances all the other flavors.
    • Whipped cream (optional): For topping.

    “See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

    How to Make Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pie?

    Before starting, preheat the oven to 180C / 350F.

    One: Place the pie crust into a pie dish, trim off the excess, and crimp the edges if you like. Then put into the fridge until making the filling.

    Steps of making the pie filling.

    Two (Make the pie filling): In a big mixing bowl, mix cream cheese and brown sugar for 1-2 minutes or until it becomes fluffy.

    Three: Add eggs to the previous mixture, one at a time, mix.

    Four: Next, add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sprinkle ground cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and salt. Mix well until combined.

    Place the pie crust into a pie dish and pour the pie filling in.

    Five: Take out the pie dish from the fridge and pour the filling mixture over it.

    Six: Bake for 35-40 minutes maximum. The centre supposes to be slightly jiggly. Let the pie cool down completely the put in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.

    Seven: Top the cinnamon pie with whipped cream and sprinkle some cinnamon on top then serve.

    Expert Tips!

    • Cover the cinnamon pie and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set, I love to keep it in the fridge overnight.
    • You can make your own pie crust (check below how to make your own pie crust), or you can use store-bought ones.
    • Don't overbake this pie; it takes only 35-40 minutes in the oven. The centre will be a bit jiggly. Overbaking will give it a rubbery texture.

    Topping Options

    Dust top of the pie with cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar. Top with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, salted caramel, or a dollop of Melon Ice Cream.

      I'm not too fond of baking, and this pie is my first to make. I was surprised that it came out wonderful! Although I replaced the brown sugar with granulated sugar.

      This pie is a delicious switch from the average fruit pie. I love cinnamon. I add it to almost all my desserts, and this pie has a strong cinnamon flavour. I found it more delicious with the whipped cream layer.
