This recipe was originally intended for my first cookbook, Something Sweet. Sadly, under tight deadlines, I didn’t have the time to give this recipe the time and attention it needed. Luckily, I didn’t forget the idea completely, because once I had the time to develop this recipe properly, it became an instant hit and a family favorite!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, on medium speed, beat together oil and sugars until combined and creamy.
Add eggs, one at a time. Add baking powder, and vanilla, beating well to combine after each addition.
Turn mixer speed to low; gradually add flour. Beat until combined. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oil until smooth. Set aside.
When filling pie crust, be careful to add each layer very gently, so you don’t break the crust. Pour one fourth of the batter into the graham cracker crust; use a flexible spatula to smooth the top. Top with one fourth of the filling. Smooth the top.
Repeat the process, ending with the batter. Note that the batter will be hard to spread; you can make fewer layers so that it is easier to assemble.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until top is set. It’s meant to be soft in the center, so don’t overbake it.
Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
For best results, serve warm. Drizzle glaze over each slice just before serving.
Notes:
This pie freezes well. Wrap tightly before freezing; reheat and glaze just before serving.

Any suggestions for Israel? Thx
pie crust I also ended up making it without the pie crust and it was fine. This pie was a big hit with my family. Delicious cinnamon bun flavor.
Amazing!

Thank you!
pie crust necessary? Do you think the pie would still work if I made it without the pie crust?
what can i use insread of non dairy cream cheese?
If you’d like to keep them non-dairy there is no other real substitute. If you’d like to make them dairy then you can use cream cheese. You can also make a glaze without cream cheese like in this recipe https://www.kosher.com/recipe/cinnamon-buns-3237
fav dessert to make!! always a hit!
This is always a winner!
I left out the pecans because I didn’t have any- and it was still a huge hit! So easy to make and so delicious- everyone loved it!
Question Is it possible to replace the ground pecans so that this can become a nut free pie?
yes- you can leave them out or replace with anything you’d like
great but… it was great and easy to make. only thing was it needs the filling to be doubled and cooked little less
Glad to hear that you liked it and thank you for the feedback!
cinnamon bun pie Yum!!! Smells so good and is so yummy. I just didn’t use the glaze…
Sounds like it was popular and just fine without it too!
