Ingredients

• 160 grams All-purpose flour
• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 10 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 grams Salt
• 4 tablespoons Cold water
• 300 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 25 grams All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 240 milliliters Heavy cream
• 15 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Begin by preparing the pie crust. In a bowl, combine 160 grams of all-purpose flour, 2 grams of salt, and 10 grams of granulated sugar.

Step 3

Add 113 grams of cold, unsalted butter (cut into small cubes) to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add 4 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, trim the edges, and crimp as desired. Prick the base with a fork and place it in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 7

To make the filling, whisk together 300 grams of packed brown sugar and 25 grams of all-purpose flour in a medium bowl to remove any lumps.

Step 8

Add 240 milliliters of heavy cream, 15 grams of melted unsalted butter, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula if needed.

Step 10

Bake the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely to room temperature before slicing. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 12

Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent dessert.
