Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters Ice water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 180 milliliters Pure maple syrup
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Gradually temper this mixture by slowly adding a few spoonfuls of the warm maple mixture while whisking constantly.
Once tempered, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the maple mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, trimming any overhang and crimping the edges.
Pour the cooled filling into the prepared pie shell.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
