    Easy Cinnamon Pie Recipe

    Published: Sep 26, 2024 · by Radwa.

    I find the smell of cinnamon pie baking in the oven is just irresistible. I enjoy making this pie on holidays, especially Christmas.

    My cinnamon pie has a crispy crust, a lovely fall spice flavour, and creamy cinnamony filling! SOO DELICIOUS.

    eat cinnamon pie slice with fork.

    Cinnamon Pie

    I usually have pie crusts in my freezer; however, I couldn't find any this time, so to make it easier for myself, I used store-bought pie crust!

    I used to make a different filling for this pie. However, I greatly improved it to make this super silky and delicious pie filling! Which is mainly made with cream cheese. and flavored with ground cinamon and nutmeg.

    I also added a delicious whipped cream layer on top, it is totally optional to add this layer.

    Cut a slice of the cinnamon pie.

    You'll Need

    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. I used eggs at room temperature.

    Heavy cream. It makes the pie richer.

    Ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon. For a lovely flavour.

    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.
    • This pie freezes very well. Allow the it to cool completely then put it in a freezer-safe pie dish. Wrap well with plastic wrap then freeze for up to 2 months.
