Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch pie crust, pre-made or homemade
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess dough. Crimp the edges if desired and prick the base lightly with a fork. Place the pie dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugars are fully dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy, about 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and has a slight jiggle in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to ensure it sets properly.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
