These raspberry pie crust cinnamon rolls are flaky, sweet, and incredibly easy to make thanks to my never-fail homemade pie crust. Instead of yeast dough, this recipe uses a tender, buttery pie crust that rolls up beautifully and bakes into golden, cinnamon-swirled perfection.

- 2 cups Crisco
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg

How to Make Raspberry Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls
Make the Pie Crust Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the Crisco until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a 1-cup measuring cup, crack the egg and fluff it with a fork. Add the vinegar, then fill the rest of the cup with cold water. Whip with a fork until fully combined.
Gradually add the egg and water mixture to the flour and Crisco, mixing gently until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough into portions, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Spoon the raspberry jam over the butter and gently spread it out.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the jam.
Starting with the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice into 1-inch rolls and place them into the prepared baking dish.
Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

Optional Glaze
If you like a little extra sweetness, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk and a splash of vanilla. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
