  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 batch of your favourite pie crust pastry

Maple Pie Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup whipping (35%) cream
  • 2 tsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out your pie dough and place it evenly into a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling to ensure it stays firm during baking.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325ºF (163ºC) to prepare for baking the pie after the filling is ready.
  3. Cook Maple Syrup Mixture: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the pure maple syrup to a gentle boil. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary to avoid boiling over.
  4. Add Butter and Cream: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted. Then stir in the whipping cream, combining everything smoothly.
  5. Thicken Filling: Transfer about 1/2 cup of the hot syrup mixture to a small bowl. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and salt thoroughly until no lumps remain. Return this mixture back into the saucepan and whisk continuously to combine and slightly cool the filling.
  6. Incorporate Eggs: Beat the eggs lightly in a separate bowl. Slowly whisk the eggs into the cooled maple mixture in the saucepan, ensuring the eggs don’t cook prematurely by tempering.
  7. Fill Pie Shell: Pour the smooth maple filling evenly into the chilled pie crust, smoothing the top to prepare for baking.
  8. Bake the Pie: Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is golden brown, bubbly, and firm to the touch.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely; the filling will continue to set to a silky texture as it cools. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Notes

  • Using pure maple syrup is essential for authentic flavor; avoid imitation syrups.
  • Chilling the pie crust before adding filling helps prevent a soggy bottom.
  • Whisk the flour mixture thoroughly to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Be careful when adding eggs to the hot filling to prevent curdling; temper the eggs by adding a little hot mixture first.
  • This recipe yields 8 servings, making it ideal for family gatherings and special occasions.
