For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. A simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or cream can be drizzled over the cooled cinnamon rolls for added sweetness. These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. This aromatic blend will be the heart of your cinnamon rolls. (2 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Gently unroll the refrigerated pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to an approximate 8x12-inch rectangle, aiming for a thickness of about 1/8 inch. This will ensure even baking and a delightful flaky texture. (5 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Spread the softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the rolled-out pie crust. Then, generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered crust, ensuring every bit is covered. (3 minutes)
05
Step
3 mins
Starting from one of the shorter ends, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Aim for a firm roll to create neat spirals in your cinnamon rolls. (3 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices. Place the slices, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each roll. (5 minutes)
07
Step
25 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the crust is flaky. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (25 minutes)
08
Step
5 mins
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cinnamon rolls rest for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to set slightly and prevents them from sticking. (5 minutes)
