Everyone Loves The Taste Of This Snickerdoodle Pie

The flavor and texture of snickerdoodle is unexpected and amazing. If you’ve never experienced snickerdoodle before, you might be wondering what it tastes like. It’s sugary, buttery, rich and has a strong sense of cinnamon behind it. Traditionally, the cookies are like a sugar cookie that’s rolled into cinnamon sugar before baking. This pie starts with a buttery and flakey crust and then the cookie texture makes up the actual pie filling. It’s baked to perfection and delicious when you serve it warm.

You can make it and enjoy for 4 days afterwards, just seal the top (like with plastic wrap). Re-heat in the microwave before serving, for 30-60 seconds. Always serve with vanilla ice cream – well, that’s my preference anyways!

How To Make This Snickerdoodle Pie Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep pie pan with baking spray. Press refrigerator crust (uncooked) into the pie pan. Combine 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon together in a small bowl. With the melted butter brush to lightly coat the crust. Sprinkle the crust with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set aside.

For the syrup: Combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, water, corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it starts to boil. Continue to stir to dissolve the sugar. Boil for about 2 minutes. (gently boil) Remove away from the heat. Add while stirring in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Set aside.

Add 1/4 cup of butter (soft) to a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Slowly add in the sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar continuing to beat until well combined. Add the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla mixing until combined.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Carefully removed the foil off the edges of the pie crust. Bake pie for an additional 20 minutes. (Until the filling is puffed and a golden brown color). Insert a toothpick near the center of the pie checking to see if it comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack.
