Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 10 grams Granulated sugar
• 2.5 grams Salt
• 60 ml Ice water
• 180 ml Maple syrup
• 100 grams Light brown sugar
• 125 ml Heavy cream
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 15 grams All-purpose flour
• 5 ml Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Large egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Place the dough into the dish, trim any excess edges, and crimp the edges if desired.

Step 7

Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line it with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans to blind bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let the crust cool while preparing the filling.

Step 8

In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.

Step 9

Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until no lumps remain, then remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 10

Whisk in the vanilla extract, followed by the egg, until the filling is fully combined and glossy.

Step 11

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and smooth the top. Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy your Tarte Au Sucre Maple Sugar Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
