Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie shell Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 200 grams Brown sugar
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming and crimping the edges as needed. Refrigerate the shell for at least 15 minutes to prevent shrinking.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until evenly combined.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream and butter just until the butter melts. Stir frequently and remove from heat before it boils.
Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to create a smooth batter.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg, whisking until fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are golden. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil halfway through the bake.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to fully set the filling.
Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
