Ingredients
-
2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
-
4 tbsp butter, melted (or coconut oil for vegan)
-
½ cup sugar (white or brown)
-
2 tsp cinnamon
-
½ cup apple butter (or warmed fruit jam with a splash of cider vinegar)
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Unroll pie crusts on parchment paper and lightly roll into rectangles.
-
Brush with melted butter, leaving a ½-inch border around edges.
-
Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over crust.
-
-
Create the Spiral
-
Cut crusts into 1-inch strips (pizza cutter works best).
-
Coil one strip tightly in the center of a parchment-lined pie dish.
-
Continue adding strips end-to-end, pressing seams gently to seal.
-
-
Bake
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
-
Check at 20 minutes; cover loosely with foil if edges darken too quickly.
-
-
Glaze
-
Warm apple butter for 15 seconds in the microwave.
-
Brush over warm pie for a glossy finish.
-
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
Notes
-
Cold Dough = Flaky Crust: Keep pie crust chilled until ready to use.
-
Leave the Border: That butter-free edge is your “glue” for keeping the spiral tight.
-
Customize: Add chopped nuts, cocoa, or thin apple slices for fun variations.
-
Mini Version: Make individual spirals in a muffin tin—bake 18–20 minutes.
