Maple Pie

Course Dessert
Author Holly

Ingredients

  • For Crust:
  • ½ cup room temp butter cut into cubes
  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Maple Pie Ingredients:
  • 1 cup 35% cream
  • ¾ cup real maple syrup
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp cold water
  • 1 vanilla bean pod or 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • For Crust: Add all crust ingredients to food processor. Pulse until mixture holds together and pulls away from sides, about one minute. Flour a large surface and roll out about ¼ inch thick. Place into pie dish and cut away excess edges. Place a circle of foil or parchment inside and fill with pie weights or dried beans. This step is CRUCIAL when you are blind baking (baking without a filling) as your pie crust will shrink down into nothing otherwise!
  • For Maple Pie: Bring cream, maple syrup, brown sugar and vanilla bean to a boil over medium heat.
  • Mix together cornstarch and water until dissolved. Add to maple mixture, whisking CONSTANTLY. Continue whisking until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract (if using) and butter. Allow to cool 10 minutes before pouring into pie crust.
  • Refrigerate overnight to allow pie to set.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
