When I was a little girl, my mom would often bake pie. Her pie crust was renowned for its tender flakiness. After she rolled out the pie dough and placed it in the pie pan, there was always some left over pieces. She would take these and sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar and bake them on a cookie sheet as a treat for me. So, when I saw this recipe for a dessert made with pie crust, it reminded me of those treats. This is a semi-homemade recipe with store bought refrigerated pie crust which would never compare to my mom's homemade crust - but it still makes a sweet, flaky delicious dessert.
