Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Prepare the flaky pastry dough according to package instructions or your own recipe.

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4 mm. Transfer the dough to a 20 cm deep dish pie plate.

   Tip: Press the dough into the corners and edges of the plate.

4. 4

   In a medium saucepan, combine the dulce de leche, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

   Brush the lattice strips with a little bit of milk and sprinkle with caramelized sugar.

   Tip: This will create a golden-brown crust.

   Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

   Tip: Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

    Caramelize the sugar on top of the pie by broiling it for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

    Tip: Keep an eye on the pie to avoid burning the sugar.
