Whether you need a last-minute hors d’oeuvre or an effortless way to use a spare round of purchased pie crust, try these sweet or savory pinwheels that come together in minutes, bake up attractively, travel well and are incredibly versatile.

It’s a simple idea — roll out the pie dough, spread or sprinkle your filling of choice over it, then roll it into a log and cut it into rounds. Once baked, they resemble mini-cinnamon buns.

Each 9-inch pie crust will require about 1 cup of filling. Some suggested fillings include:

Finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes

Prosciutto and black pepper

Olive tapenade

Grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives

Grated pecorino cheese and dried apricots (finely minced in a food processor)

Cinnamon and sugar

Maple sugar and chopped, toasted pecans

Candied ginger (finely minced in the food processor)

Time: 25 minutes, including prep
