Snickerdoodle Pie

Nothing says comfort food like Snickerdoodle Pie. A cinnamon sugar syrup bakes into the bottom of this soft, cake pie based off of a favorite cookie recipe.

If you love our cinnamon rolls and our snickerdoodle cookies, you may like this easy snickerdoodle inspired homemade pie. It’s a classic and can be eaten for breakfast, brunch or dessert!

Snickerdoodles may seem like a Christmas cookie, but our love for them never goes away, even in the summertime. Christmas is gone, but my craving for Snickerdoodles isn’t.

We love making pies from cookies…so I made the Potato Chip Chocolate Pie, I wondered if I could create other cookie pies. Like my favorite…..Snickerdoodles.

Snickerdoodle Pie Crust

For this recipe, we used our best pie crust recipe…the one from my Grandma. Have you tried it? We highly recommend it for this pie.

You can also use a store-bought pie crust. Or…make a snickerdoodle cookie dough and press it thinly into the pie plate for a snickerdoodle cookie crust!

How to Make Snickerdoodle Pie

• Prepare your favorite pie crust by rolling it out and pressing it into a 9 inch pan.
• Spread the melted butter on the crust inside the pan.
• Then sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar.

Make the Syrup:

• Mix in the butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, water, and corn syrup in a small saucepan.
• Bring to a boil and let it boil gently for 2 minutes, stirring gently until the sugar is dissolved.
• Remove the pan from the heat and add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the syrup. Mix and set aside to cool slightly.

Make the Batter:

• Mix the butter until light and fluffy in your stand mixer.
• Add in the the sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, egg, vanilla, milk, and flour as listed in the recipe below. Mix just until combined.
• Spread evenly on your pie crust.
• Slowly pour on the syrup over the dough. It sounds strange, but all of that syrup will sink to the bottom as the pie bakes making a gooey cinnamon layer.
• Cover the edges of the pie in foil. This ensures that the edges of the pie won’t get too brown during cooking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Then take the foil off, and bake for the remaining 20 minutes.
• Serve with ice cream or just enjoy it as is!

Can I freeze Snickerdoodle Pie?

Yes! This pie will freeze well after baking. If you have leftovers, seal the slices in airtight containers. When you are ready to serve it, allow the pie to defrost before opening the container. This will keep the pie the freshest.
