Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 cup Corn syrup (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the corn syrup, vanilla extract, flour, and heavy cream. Mix until the filling is fully combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to fully set.
Serve slices as-is or with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy!
