Ingredients
Units
Scale
- For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3–4 tablespoons ice water
- For the filling:
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, flour, and salt. Slowly add heavy cream and cook, stirring, until mixture just begins to bubble.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla. Temper the eggs by slowly adding a bit of the hot syrup mixture while whisking constantly. Then whisk everything together.
- Pour filling into the prepared crust and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is golden.
- Cool completely before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
Notes
- Use only pure maple syrup for authentic flavor—avoid imitation syrup.
- Pie will continue to set as it cools, so don’t overbake.
- Pairs beautifully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
