Easy Cinnamon Pie Recipe

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
