Cinnamon Sugar Galette

What doesn't sound delicious about pie crust covered in caramelized cinnamon sugar?   Ummmm......NOTHING!   I don't know if I made this recipe up or not....but one day, my husband and I were hungry for dessert and all I had was refrigerated pie crust.  I thought of making an apple pie, or peach pie, but I didn't have any fruit!  So, that's how the simple....but oh so delicious cinnamon sugar galette was born!  

Here's the recipe...you won't regret it!

Ingredients:

1 box of Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust (you'll only need 1 crust)

1 stick of butter (at room temperature)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbs milk

Preheat over at 350 degrees.

On a baking sheet, lay out 1 crust and lightly brush it with a layer of milk.  Next, combine butter, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and mix until fully combined.  Spread the mixture over the crust, leaving a 1/2 inch border all the way around.  Then, fold up the edges and pinch together, leaving a large circle of the cinnamon sugar mixture exposed.  Last, brush more milk over the edges of the crust.  Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Let cool for 15 minutes, slice and enjoy!

You can pair it with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream or have it all by itself!  Make sure you have an ice cold glass of milk to wash it down and save leftovers in a plastic bag. :)
