  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 quart ice cream (preferably vanilla)

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large, ungreased baking dish, place the pie pastry flat on the bottom. Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the pastry. Prick whole surface with fork and bake at 400*F for 10 - 12 minutes or until pastry is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack for 5 - 10 minutes.
