Ingredients

1 pre-bought pie dough for a 9-inch pie

For the filling:

1 cup maple syrup Grade A
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
3 large eggs at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping (optional):

Maple whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the pre-bought dough and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges. Crimp the edges of the dough around the edge of the pie plate. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, heavy cream, light brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until filling is set, checking the crust at the 30 minute mark and covering the edges with foil to prevent burning.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
Once cooled, slice the pie and serve. The pie can be served as is, or top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

When baked, the pie will be a golden brown color and set around the edges, but still slightly jiggly in the center, but not liquid.

Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This helps the filling set properly and makes slicing easier. If after cooling, the filling still seems too soft, chilling the pie in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight can help it set further.

Opt for high-quality syrup for a rich flavor.
