Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out your pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges if desired, then set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, light brown sugar, heavy cream, melted butter, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed at the edges. The center should still have a slight jiggle.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the filling set further.
Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure a perfect texture.
Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. For added decadence, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
