Title: "Pumpkin Pie Got Buns, Hun!"
A Brûléed, Salted Masterpiece"
There are regular pumpkin pies, and then there’s this pumpkin pie. We’re talking about a cinnamon bun-pumpkin pie mashup with a brûléed top and a sprinkle of coarse salt that’ll make your taste buds sing. And the best part? It’s gluten-free, thanks to Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Pie Crust. (Bless you, Trader Joe’s, for doing the pie crust work so we don’t have to.)
Let’s face it: pumpkin pie is a Thanksgiving staple, but sometimes the usual recipe can be, well, a little predictable. This recipe is here to break the mold and take your gluten-free pie game to the next level. We’re bringing in Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Bun Spread, the jar of gooey cinnamon goodness you didn’t know you needed in your life (until now), and pairing it with classic pumpkin puree for the ultimate autumn flavor bomb.
But wait, there’s more! We’re torching the top, crème brûlée style, because who doesn’t love smashing through a caramelized sugar crust? And to really send it over the top, we’re finishing with a sprinkle of coarse salt for that sweet-salty contrast you didn’t know pumpkin pie needed.
Why You'll Love This Gluten Free Cinnamon Bun Pumpkin Pie Recipe:
It’s Easy – Thanks to Trader Joe’s pre-made gluten-free pie crust, the hardest part of this recipe is not eating the cinnamon bun spread straight out of the jar (no judgment if you do).
It’s Extra – We’re not just making pumpkin pie. We’re making a pie that’s got a brûléed sugar top and a sprinkle of coarse salt. This is fancy pie territory.
It’s Sweet, Salty, and a Little Spicy – The cinnamon bun spread adds warm cinnamon spice, while the brûlée and salt bring layers of flavor that’ll have your guests asking for seconds… and the recipe.
Pro Tips for Maximum Pie Glory:
Don’t skip the torching. If you don’t have a kitchen torch, your broiler on high will do the trick—just watch it like a hawk, so you don’t end up with a crème brûlée cremation.
Make ahead: This pie is a great make-ahead dessert. Bake it the day before, let it cool, and brûlée the top just before serving. That way, your pie is ready for its close-up when dessert time hits.
The Final Slice:
This pie has everything: creamy pumpkin filling, gooey cinnamon bun flavor, and a crunchy, salty-sweet brûléed top. Plus, it’s totally gluten-free, so everyone at your holiday table can dive in without worry. Whether you’re making it for Thanksgiving or just a random Tuesday (because you deserve it), this gluten-free cinnamon bun pumpkin pie recipe is about to become your new favorite.
Go ahead, torch that sugar, and get ready to wow your guests—or just yourself, because let’s be honest, you might not want to share.
