Sweet, silky smooth maple pie.
Ingredients
-
3/4 cup maple syrup (dark)
-
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
-
4 egg yolks
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
-
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Place the pie crust in its plate in a large, shallow baking pan lined with foil in case of a boil-over.
Bring maple syrup to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, to reduce syrup down by about one-quarter.
Stir in cream, bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat.
Whisk egg yolks and egg together in a large bowl.
Very gradually add the cream mixture to the eggs, about 1/4 cup at a time, whisking constantly.
Stir in salt, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust.
Bake until the pie is mostly set but jiggles slightly when moved, about 1 hour.
Let cool before serving.
