Equipment
- 9-inch pie plate
- heavy saucepan
- mixing bowls
- whisk
- measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 single pie crust
- 1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the maple syrup to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter until melted, then stir in the heavy whipping cream.
- Transfer about 1/2 cup of the maple mixture to a small bowl. Whisk in the flour and salt until smooth, then whisk the mixture back into the saucepan.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl, then whisk them into the maple mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Roll out the pie dough, fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, and pour the warm filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the filling is golden brown, bubbly, and mostly set with only a slight jiggle in the center.
- Cool the pie completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use 100% pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Allow the pie to cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling can fully set. Serve plain or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
