Instructions

1. 
   

   Make the Crust: Prepare the pie crust according to the directions inwards my Perfect Pie Crust Recipe + Guide (linked here). You're entirely making one-half the recipe given in that place (I've already halved component amounts for you lot inwards the component listing above) because this is a unmarried non a double crust pie. Prepare the crust through measurement 7, too next the directions given for chilling a unmarried crust pie earlier baking. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

   Set out the ingredients inwards the pie filling that require to live on at room temp.

   
   


2. 
   

   Blind Bake the Crust: Get out 1 & 1/2 pounds of carbohydrate or rice (my preferred shape of pie weights) too tear off a piece or ii of foil that volition comprehend the pie crust. Do this earlier you lot receive got the crust out of the freezer too thence it’s non sitting out warming dorsum up. After it’s been inwards the freezer for xv minutes, receive got it out, too gently press the piece of foil into the frozen crust, making certain the edges are covered. You may require to usage ii pieces of foil that slightly overlap to comprehend the whole thing. Fill alongside 1 & 1/2 pounds of the rice/sugar, etc.

   Place on a baking canvass too bake for 25-27 minutes. Lift the foil upwards a fleck to run into the crust – the crimped edges should receive got lightly browned. Sometimes I require to add together 2-4 to a greater extent than minutes earlier the crimps await similar a calorie-free golden brownish shade. 

   Once done, transfer the baking canvass alongside the pie pan on it to a cooling rack too cool for half dozen minutes earlier removing the foil/weights. Let the crust cool piece you lot laid upwards the filling. Reduce oven oestrus to 350 degrees F.

   
   


3. 
   

   Make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter too maple syrup. Whisk inwards the brownish sugar, cornmeal, too salt. In roughly other medium bowl, add together the eggs too egg yolk. Whisk inwards the vanilla too heavy cream. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the maple mixture too whisk simply until combined.

   
   


4. 
   

   Bake: Beat 1 egg inwards a pocket-size bowl alongside a splash of H2O - this is your egg wash. Place the blind-baked pie crust onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the crimped edges alongside the egg wash. Pour the filling into the pie trounce until it reaches the bottom of the crimps (you may receive got an extra splash of filling left inwards the bowl).

   Transfer the baking canvass alongside the pie on it to the oven too bake 45 minutes to 1 hr (mine took well-nigh 52 minutes), until the edges are puffed too the pump jiggles entirely slightly when shaken. The pie volition proceed to laid equally it cools.

   Remove the baking canvass from the oven too transfer the pie to a cooling rack. Let cool 4-6 hours.

   
   


5. 
   

   Brûlée the Pie: Don't practice this measurement until 1-2 hours earlier serving the pie! If desired, brand a creme brulee mode topping on the cooled pie. Sprinkle on 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar, leaving a niggling infinite betwixt the border of the carbohydrate too the crust. Use a kitchen torch to melt the carbohydrate until you lot receive got a difficult topping. Place the pie dorsum inwards the refrigerator for xxx minutes to chill dorsum up.

   
   


6.
