- 1 can (8 count) Pillsbury™ refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls With Icing
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans

- In ungreased 9-inch pie plate, place 1 roll in centre; pat and press to stretch. Surround with remaining 7 rolls; press seams of dough to cover entire bottom of pan and seal. Bake 10 minutes.
- Spoon pie filling over cinnamon roll crust; top evenly with streusel. Cover edges of crust with strips of foil. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cool on cooling rack 1 hour.
- Before serving, microwave icing uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle back and forth over top of pie.
Expert Tips
- Removing the cinnamon roll dough from the can while prepping the rest of the recipe allows the dough to warm up a bit, making it easier to pat and press into pie plate.
- Check your grocery’s bakery aisle for many different varieties of pie fillings.
