Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) ice water, plus more if needed
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk

Instructions:

  1. Make the Pie Crust: Combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough comes together. Flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add maple syrup (if using).
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
  6. Transfer to Pie Plate: Carefully transfer the dough to the pie plate and crimp the edges.
  7. Pour in the Filling: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center and the crust is golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
