Total Time
2 hours 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 single layer pie crust*
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 g)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (42 g)
- 1 3/4 cup brown sugar (280 g)
- 1 stick butter, melted ( 4 oz)
- 2 eggs
- flakey sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12 inch circle. Transfer to a 9 inch pie plate and fold over/crimp/trim edges as desired.
- Prick bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper. Pop entire crust into the freezer while you preheat the oven to 375F.
- Fill crust with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove parchment/weights and bake for 10 additional minutes.
For the filling:
- In a large mixing bowl whisk all the filling ingredients together until smooth and creamy, but don't over-mix.
- Pour into the par-baked pie shell and bake at 350F for 45-55 minutes or until the center of the pie no longer jiggles with you gently move the pie dish. (If your crust is geting too dark, you can cut a circle out of a sheet of foil and place the "donut" shake over the edge crust.)
- Allow to cool before slicing and serving with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
My favorite pie crust is here: You only need half a recipe for this pie.
