Cinnamon Roll Crust S'mores Pie

Step 1

Place the sliced cinnamon rolls in a circular shape on top of a piece of baking paper don’t worry about the circle being perfect. Lie a second piece of baking paper over the top and using a rolling pin, roll the cinnamon rolls out to about 1/2cm thick.

Step 2

Remove the top piece of baking paper and invert the cinnamon rolls into a 23cm pie dish. Neaten the edges of the dish with a sharp knife if needed and place in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 190 C / 175 C fan and place the pie crust into the oven to bake for 20 - 30 minutes, until golden and browned - you may need to push the buns down half way through so that they don’t rise in the middle too much - you may also need to cover the top of the crust with tin foil to stop it browning too much. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully.
