directions
Make extra pie dough when you can!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll pie dough into a 12 by 8 inch rectangle.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, cinnamon and salt until well blended.
Spread the prepared filling evenly over dough. Tightly roll the dough, beginning from the 12 inch side. Press the seam to seal. Trim and discard the ends, about ½ inch on each side. Cut log into ¼ inch thick slices and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill. Bake for around 15 minutes, until edges begin to brown.
