Salted Maple Pie

The world's best pie: Salted Maple
Servings: 1 9-inch pie
Author: Lisa Ludwinski of Sister Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 single layer of pie dough, rolling into a 9-inch dish & par-baked
  • 141 g salted butter, melted & cooled slightly
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup cornflour, lightly packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 cup double cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract*
  • 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
  • flaky sea salt, to finish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Have the pie dough (par-baked or not) ready nearby, placed on a baking tray to catch any drips.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, light brown sugar & the cornflour until combined.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolk, cream & vanilla – ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Gradually pour the cream mix into the butter mix & whisk until just combined. Brush the edges of the pie shell with egg wash.
  • Pour the filling into the pie shell (to about 1-inch down from the top) & bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, until the edges are puffed & the centre jiggles only slightly when shook. Place the pie dish onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing – about 4-6 hours.
  • Once fully cooled, slice into wedges & sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt. Enjoy!

Notes

* I always use homemade vanilla extract!
