Brown Sugar Pie

WARNING: This pie is a sugar overload!


I could not sleep today and figured making some sort of dessert would be the best plan of action to make myself tired again. I found this recipe and luckily had all of the ingredients in my pantry. The prep for this pie took maybe 10 minutes, but turned out delicious. I think I may have needed to let it cook a little longer though, because it was still pretty liquid when I cut into it. I think this pie was so awesome because it reminded me of home.


For the Pie:

1 pie crust (home-made or store bought)

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 eggs
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup flour


To make the Pie:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pie crust into your pie pan.

In a bowl, mix all ingredients together with the exception of the flour.  Add the flour in parts.  Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Bake for at least 45 minutes. (I cooked mine for 50 minutes and it was still not firm enough.) The pie top should look dry, but still tremble towards the middle. Let cool on rack for at least 45 minutes. You can serve as is, or add some whipped cream for even more deliciousness! 


This pie is super sweet and basically resembles a Pecan Pie minus the pecans! It would be a great addition to any dinner party. It especially reminded me of the fall in a Southern home. Hopefully you enjoy and continue checking out my blog!
