Ingredients

Scale

Pie Filling

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Top Layer

  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple extract

Crust

  • 1 ready-made pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution in the filling.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients – Part 1: In a large mixing bowl, add 4 eggs, ½ cup heavy cream, ¾ cup maple syrup, ½ teaspoon maple extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk Wet Ingredients: Thoroughly whisk the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  5. Add Buttermilk: Slowly pour in 1 ½ cups buttermilk, whisking continuously to create a smooth, homogeneous filling batter.
  6. Fill the Pie Crust: Carefully pour the prepared filling mixture into the ready-made pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
  7. Bake the Pie: Place the filled pie on the oven’s middle rack and bake for 40 minutes, allowing the filling to set and lightly brown.
  8. Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool down slightly before applying the topping.
  9. Prepare the Sour Cream Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups sour cream, 4 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon maple extract until smooth.
  10. Top the Pie: Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the partially cooled pie to create a creamy layer.
  11. Bake the Topped Pie: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 4 minutes at 375°F to set the topping.
  12. Chill Overnight: Cover the pie with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to firm up.

Notes

  • Ensure the pie is cooled before adding the sour cream topping to prevent curdling.
  • Using a ready-made pie crust saves time and provides a perfectly flaky base.
  • Maple extract enhances the maple flavor but can be omitted if unavailable; increase maple syrup slightly as a substitute.
  • Chilling overnight is crucial for the best texture and flavor development.
  • For a thicker filling, you can increase the cornstarch by 1 teaspoon if desired.
