Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, whisking until smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is a deep golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set completely before slicing.
Serve as-is or top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
