Ingredients

1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped for topping
Chopped pecans or walnuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat the oven according to the pie crust package instructions. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and bake until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
Make the Filling: In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
Combine Egg Yolks: Remove the saucepan from heat. Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper them, then return the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Finish the Filling: Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Serve: Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Slice and enjoy your Maple Cream Pie!
