Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Prebaked pie crust
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 2.5 cups Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prepare a 9-inch prebaked pie crust and set it aside while making the filling.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Mix until evenly blended.
Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, then whisk to combine.
Microwave for another 2 minutes, whisk again, and repeat the process in 1-minute intervals until the mixture thickens into a pudding-like consistency (about 6-8 minutes total).
Once thickened, add the butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the hot filling into the prebaked pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Let the pie cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
Slice into eight pieces and serve chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon!
