Maple Sugar Cream Pie Recipe:
Prepare yourself for a luscious pie that’s not too sweet, not too heavy, but just right. Perfect for any dessert table, this pie stands out with its deep maple flavor and creamy texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 deep dish frozen pie crust
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Topping:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions:
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325º F. Place the frozen pie crust in a standard pie dish and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Make the Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 4 tablespoons butter and heavy cream. Heat until the butter is melted. Whisk in cornstarch and sugar, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the maple syrup, maple extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Drizzle with melted butter.
- Prepare the Topping: Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle evenly over the pie filling.
- Bake: Return the pie to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. The center should be set but still slightly wobbly.
- Cool and Set: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until fully set.
