Cinnamon Crust Dutch Apple Pie step by step
Preheat oven to 400 deg. Unroll pie crust onto a glass pie dish. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and granulated sugar. Pour the 1/2 cup of Wheaties to cover bottom of pie crust. (This is a key ingredient, trust me no one will know its there but it does the job, keeps the pie together)..
Place sliced apples in a mound on top of the Wheaties. In a large bowl, combine butter, flour and brown sugar and form into crumbles using fingers or a pastry blender. Sprinkle crumbles over apples..
Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over crumbles. Bake pie until the top and crust are a golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes (cover top/crust with foil if necessary to prevent it from getting too dark). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack..
In a small bowl, whisk together powered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and milk to form the icing (add more sugar or milk to reach desired consistency). Using a pastry bag or a Ziploc bag with one end cut off, pipe on the icing in a swirl on top of the crumbles on fully cooled pie..
Made with a cinnamon roll inspired crust it looks as delicious as it tastes! Cut each cinnamon roll in half and roll out with flour until thin. Layer the bottom of the pie dish with the flattened cinnamon rolls to create a bottom crust. Add the apples and layer the rest of the rolls on top to create a closed crust, pinch any holes together with your fingers. Brush bottom and sides of crust with egg yolk.
