Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
• 0.75 cup real maple syrup (dark amber)
• 2.25 cups heavy cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring maple syrup to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat; cook until reduced by about one-fourth, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cream; bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil; place pie crust in its pie plate on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Whisk egg yolks and egg together in a large bowl. Slowly whisk cream mixture into eggs, about ¼ cup at a time, whisking constantly. Stir in salt, vanilla extract, and vinegar; pour into pie crust.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until pie is mostly set but jiggles slightly when moved, about 1 hour. Cool before serving, about 1 hour.
