The Best Cinnamon Pie Recipe

🥧🔥 The Best Cinnamon Pie Recipe
“It’s so good, even the forks fight over who gets to go first.”

🍂 Ingredients (Makes 1 9-inch pie)
For the crust:
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3–4 tbsp ice water
Or use a pre-made crust, your secret’s safe with me.
For the filling:
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon (yes, that’s a lot, trust the spice gods)
• ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional but magical)
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup evaporated milk (or half-and-half)
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Joke break:
Why did the cinnamon pie get kicked out of the bakery band?
Because it kept taking over the “rolls”! 🎶

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Make that crust (or don’t, I won’t tell)
    Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until it looks like little pebbles. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap it, and chill for at least 30 min.
    Roll out and place into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp it like you mean it.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
    Because cold pie filling and hot ovens are soulmates.
  3. Spice up your life
    In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, white sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Wet meets dry
    In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, evaporated milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine with the dry mix and stir until smooth and irresistible.
  5. Fill ‘er up
    Pour the filling into your crust. Smooth it out. Whisper sweet nothings to it, like “You’re gonna be famous.”
  6. Bake it till it quivers
    Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the center is just set and has a slight jiggle. Like a cinnamon-flavored belly dance. Cool completely before slicing.
    Joke break:
    What’s cinnamon pie’s favorite dance move?
    The spice slide. 🕺✨

🍨 Serve With:
• A dollop of whipped cream
• Vanilla bean ice cream
• A cozy blanket and dramatic movie soundtrack

Final Punchline:
Why did the cinnamon pie win the popularity contest?
Because it was warm, sweet, and a little spicy, just like the best kind of friend. 🥧❤️
