Pie crust cinnamon crisps are not only delicious, but they’re also the perfect thing to make with leftover pie crust. My great-grandmother often made these for me as a treat. And I remember thinking that they were as good as the pie!

Sweet or Savory Pie Crust Crisps

You don’t have to make pie crust cinnamon crisps with the leftover dough. You can also make them savory with your favorite herbs and spices.

Another one I like is made with Italian seasoning, a dash of seasoning salt, and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. So instead of a sweet treat, you have a snack that satisfies your craving for savory.

Don’t be afraid to try out different things. Without a doubt, that’s the best way to come up with new favorites. You can also do a variety of flavors in one batch to compare them.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Pie crust dough
• Butter
• Cinnamon
• Sugar

I also used nonstick cooking spray for the pan, rather than flip the squares over to coat the other side with butter.

Directions

Roll out your dough, using a sprinkling of flour to keep it from sticking. If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a straight glass. That works just as well.

Next, cut the dough into whatever shape you want. I made squares, but you can also make rectangles, triangles, or even small circles. You might even want to cut some fun shapes out with cookie cutters.

Afterward, place the cut dough on the baking sheet. Brush melted butter over them.

Finally, sprinkle a mixture of equal parts sugar and cinnamon over the dough. If you’re cutting back on sugar, substitute monk fruit sweetener or stevia for part of it.

Bake until golden brown and crispy. Let them cool for about 5 minutes after you remove them from the oven.

Delicious Dip Ideas

These cinnamon crisps are delicious as is, but you can also dip them, especially if you’re hosting guests. Some of the things I use for dipping include vanilla yogurt, pumpkin butter, nut butter, cream cheese, or any kind of jam. This chocolate chip fluff dip is good too!

Perfect Dessert Accent

These cinnamon crisps liven up any otherwise plain dessert. For example, they’re delicious served with vanilla ice cream. You can also add them to a fruit parfait for a special treat.
