ingredients

2 refrigerated 9-inch pie shells
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¹⁄₄ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (1/2 for filling, 1/2 for topping)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
2 -3 tablespoons milk or 2 -3 tablespoons heavy cream

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Unroll both pie crusts and place onto a lightly floured surface.
Using a 3" round cookie cutter, cut rounds out of crust until all crust is used.
You should get approximately 12 rounds per pie crust, re-rolling scraps one time if needed.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, brown sugar and (1/2 tsp.) cinnamon until well combined.
Place half (12) of the rounds onto a parchment or silpat-lined baking sheet.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop a heaping tablespoon of cream cheese mixture onto the centers of the 12 crusts.
Lightly brush water around outer edges of the filled dough then place remaining rounds on top of filled rounds.
Gently press edges to seal.
Place sugar and (1/2 tsp.) cinnamon into a small bowl and mix to combine.
Brush tops of pies with melted butter then sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tops of pies are golden brown.
Once pies are cooled, whisk powdered sugar and cream until mixed well and a desired drizzling consistency.
Drizzle over tops of pies. Serve warm.

I'm 23 years old and I live in Trinidad. One of the islands in the Caribbean. I love baking and have a major sweet tooth but I am trying to cook more savoury foods and I am enjoying trying new recipes. Recently I have come to love photographing the food I make. Too bad they don't all come out photo worthy, but at least they still taste good! lol <img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/SuperBowlSTKR.jpg> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/TeaSuppers-STKR.jpg">
