Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the unbaked pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk together to eliminate any lumps.
4. Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream until smooth.
5. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble. This should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
6. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
7. Pour the sugar mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
10. Once completely cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving for the best texture.
11. Slice and enjoy your Sugar Pie with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
