Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup maple syrup
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, reduce maple syrup by a quarter, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and egg. Whisking constantly, slowly add cream mixture to eggs. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a cup or bowl with pouring spout. Stir in salt, nutmeg and vanilla.
  • Pour filling into crust and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until pie is firm to touch but jiggles slightly when moved, about 1 hour. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I thought this pie was just okay. The nutmeg flavor was a bit too strong for me, and the cream filling was a little too sweet. I think I'll try using less nutmeg and sugar next time.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of nutmeg, but I really enjoyed this pie. The maple flavor really mellows out the nutmeg, and the cream filling is just the right amount of sweetness.
