Cinnamon Pie

This cinnamon pie features a silky cream-cheese custard in a classic pastry shell—think a mash-up of cheesecake and chess pie with warm bakery-style spices. It’s an easy, make-ahead dessert for holidays, fall entertaining, and will make a great addition to your Thanksgiving menu. It's something different than the usual pecan pies or pumpkin pies but still very festive.
