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.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed tightly)
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 unbaked pie crust ((9-inch diameter))

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Note: This recipe yields: one 9-inch pie.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and brown sugar and use an electric mixer to cream them together until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until combined.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure to completely mix in each egg before adding the next.

  5. 5

    Once all of the eggs have been mixed in, pour in the heavy whipping cream and flour, and mix until everything is just combined.

  6. 6

    Pour the pie filling into the unbaked pie crust, and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the pie filling around the outside has puffed up but the center is still a little bit jiggly.

  7. 7

    Let the pie rest on a cooling rack until it has reached room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap and chill for 3-4 hours or until it is completely set.

  8. 8

    Top with whipped cream, if desired, and serve chilled.
