Ingredients

  • 1 batch unbaked store-bought pie crust dough (or homemade pie crust dough)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk (or cream)
  • ⅓ cup cinnamon sugar (mix 2 tablespoons cinnamon into ½ cup granulated sugar and stir well)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or ground cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Step 2: On a floured surface or a sheet of parchment paper, roll the pie crust out to a thickness between ⅛ and ¼ inch. Use a leaf-shaped cookie cutter or press to cut out shapes, dipping the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: Gently brush each leaf-shaped piece with milk or cream, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. Step 4: Place the prepared leaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
  5. Step 5: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them carefully to a serving tray to cool slightly.
  6. Step 6: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice (or ground cinnamon). Mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Step 7: Serve the pie crust chips alongside the cinnamon dip for dipping and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Try using different shaped cookie cutters for fun variations, such as stars or hearts.
  • Swap pumpkin pie spice with nutmeg or ginger for a different spice profile in the dip.
  • For extra crunch, bake the chips a minute or two longer, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Storage

Store any leftover pie crust chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to keep them crisp. The cinnamon dip should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 days. Reheat chips briefly in a warm oven to regain crispness if needed.
