Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Unbaked pie crust
- 1.5 cups Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges as desired.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until evenly combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave, and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to ensure the mixture is well combined and free of lumps.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed up. The center should jiggle slightly but not be liquid.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Slice and serve at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
