Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 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:
a. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
b. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
c. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
d. Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
e. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp as desired.
f. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow it to cool.
2. Make the Filling:
a. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and salt.
b. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
c. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the sugar mixture until smooth.
d. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the sugar and cream mixture, whisking constantly.
e. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Assemble and Bake:
a. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
b. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
c. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
