I am SO not one of those women who can throw together a dinner party and entertain on a budget. Because my hostess skills are less than desirable, I’ll usually cough up the green to have someone else plan and execute the shindig for me.
Cinnamon twists are one of my favorite desserts. When my kids go to Taco Bell, I always have them pick up an order for me. I think I love them so much because they’re so similar to churros. Both are loaded with cinnamon sugar, and both are made with a tasty dough base. Rather than constantly ordering cinnamon twists from restaurants, I decided to make my own. After all, anything homemade is usually better than something you buy. I think that definitely holds true with this recipe. It’s a semi-homemade version of cinnamon twists that brings all the sweet flavor of this tasty dessert with very little effort, which is always great!
CINNAMON TWISTS
This recipe is incredibly easy to make as well as incredibly delicious. That’s because rather than making your own dough, you’ll be using store-bought pie crust! I’ve taken what could have been a complicated recipe and made it super-duper simple with that one simple change. Pie crust strips are twisted around each other, then coated in melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar and baked until golden browned. The result? A delicious, sweet treat that satisfies every sweet tooth in your mouth without you having to do a ton of work. It’s the best combo in my opinion!
