Maple Sugar Cream Pie

  

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

Preparation:

Pre-Bake Crust: Preheat oven to 325º F and arrange your crust in a standard pie dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, achieving a light browning, and then set aside.

Create Cream Filling: Over medium heat in a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter into the heavy cream. Following that, whisk in cornstarch and sugar, continuously stirring until it thickens (6-7 minutes). Introduce maple syrup, maple extract, vanilla extract, and salt, whisking until smooth.

Pour and Top: Transfer the filling into the pie crust and tenderly drizzle the remaining melted butter atop. Combine sugar and cinnamon and generously sprinkle over the filling.

Bake to Perfection: Let it bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust reaches a golden hue and the filling bubbles with delight. A slightly wobbly center is perfect.

Cool, Set, Serve: Allow it to cool, then refrigerate until set (2-3 hours). Slice it up, serve generously, and watch faces light up with every bite!

Your journey into this delightfully decadent dessert awaits - may every slice whisk you into a world of rich, creamy, and unapologetically sweet indulgence. Enjoy crafting, serving, and of course, devouring this Maple Sugar Cream Pie!
