Snickerdoodle Pie

Yield: 8 slices

This pie is made by pouring a homemade cinnamon syrup over top of a soft, cake-like pie filling inside of a buttery crust. When it bakes, the syrup swirls with the filling and leaves a sugary, crunchy layer on top!

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon sugar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted

For the Syrup:

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons light-colored corn syrup

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 teaspoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla, divided
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch round baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl combine the sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.
  3. Brush melted butter over crust. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. of cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set aside.
  4. For syrup: in saucepan combine brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, the water, corn syrup, and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil gently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Set aside.
  5. For filling: in a mixing bowl beat 1/4 cup softened butter with electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Beat in granulated sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar until well combined. Beat in egg and 1 tsp. vanilla. Gradually beat in milk until combined. Beat in flour.
  6. Spread evenly in the crust.
  7. Slow pour syrup over the pie filling. Sprinkle the top with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Cover the edges with foil.
  8. Bake pie 25 minutes; carefully remove foil. Bake about 20 minutes more or until top is puffed and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes on wire rack.
  9. Make the glaze: whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over pie before serving.

    • Oh gosh! So sorry! I wrote this forever ago, and somehow that’s never been brought to my attention!!! Thank YOU! The milk and the flour simply goes in with the rest of the ingredients in step 2, which I’m sure you figured out 🙂

      I’ll go fix this now!

  2. Really?  You couldn’t figure out where to put the 1/2 c milk and 1.5 cups of flour??  Even though it’s listed under the Cookie  Pie Base?!   I don’t understand how some people get through life!
