Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
- 1 cup pure maple sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
- In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water one tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Roll Out the Pie Crust:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pie crust into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish.
- Place the crust into a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess dough, leaving a slight overhang. Crimp the edges.
4. Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the maple sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and salt.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Slowly pour the hot cream over the sugar mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then slowly whisk them into the sugar and cream mixture.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Bake the Pie:
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- You can refrigerate the pie for a few hours to enhance the flavors before serving.
