Easy Creamy Cinnamon Pie Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Chill: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

For the Cinnamon Pie:

8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1¼ cups heavy cream
3½ tablespoon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon
1 teaspoon salt
1 Pie Crust
for garnish
Whipped cream optional

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C.

Using a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer, cream together cream cheese and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy, approximately 3 – 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and beat in the eggs. Scrape down the bowl again, then mix in the cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until it’s smooth.

Place your pre-made pie crust in a pie pan and then pour your cinnamon filling into the prepared pie crust. It’ll be quite full, but don’t worry, it’s not going to rise; it’s similar to a pumpkin pie. Bake until it’s set; the center should wobble a little when shaken, approximately 35 minutes.

Remove the pie, cover it, and cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, place it in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 2 hours.

Remove the pie from the fridge approximately 30 minutes before serving, dust it with powdered sugar, and serve with optional whipped cream.

Notes:

Quality Counts: Start with high-quality cinnamon. The fresher and more aromatic, the better the final pie will taste.

Perfect Crust: If you’re making your own crust, keep all ingredients cold for a flakier result. And don’t forget to pre-bake it to avoid fogginess.

Sugar Level: Depending on your sweet tooth, you can adjust the sugar levels. Just remember that cinnamon itself has a spicy kick, so balance is key.

Test for Doneness: Insert a knife or toothpick into the pie’s center. If it comes out clean or with minimal residue, the pie is ready.

Cooling Time: Allow ample time for the pie to cool down. Cutting into it too soon can cause the filling to spill out.

Make Ahead: Cinnamon pie often tastes better the next day, giving flavors time to meld. Feel free to make it in advance and store it properly.

Pie crust: Make a traditional pie crust a couple of days in advance; use frozen pie crust, store-bought pie crust, or Graham cracker pie crust.

Storage: Store covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the fridge for up to 5 days and freeze for up to 3 months.

How to Store Leftover Cinnamon Pie:

You can easily enjoy your cinnamon pie the next day; you can store any leftover pie covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Homemade Pie Crust or Store-Bought Pie Crust?

You can use either for convenience; a store-bought crust is often easier, but nothing beats a homemade pie crust.

You could make the pie crust a couple of days ahead of time, or you can even use frozen pie crust.

To change things up a little, you could even use a Graham cracker crust.
