Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 unit Premade pie crust (or homemade, rolled out and ready to use)
- 240 ml Pure maple syrup
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 30 g Cornstarch
- 180 ml Heavy cream
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges, then place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pure maple syrup and brown sugar. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until fully dissolved. Add this mixture to the saucepan and whisk it in until smooth.
Add the remaining heavy cream and salt to the saucepan. Stir constantly while cooking the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the unsalted butter until fully melted.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together. Slowly drizzle a small amount of the warm maple syrup mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly. This will temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Gradually add the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining maple syrup mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top out with a spatula if necessary.
Place the pie into the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 35-40 minutes. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when done. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to fully set before serving.
Slice and serve the pie chilled or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or chopped pecans for added texture.
