Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pie crust Pie dough (pre-made or homemade)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges, if desired, and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 3

Blind bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment. Bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and flour together until well combined.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream to the sugar-flour mixture, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

Step 7

Pour the cream mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and spread evenly.

Step 8

Dice the unsalted butter and dot it evenly across the surface of the filling.

Step 9

Sprinkle the vanilla extract across the filling and gently stir with a knife to distribute it evenly in the cream mixture.

Step 10

Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the surface of the pie for a lightly spiced finish.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid. The top should be golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. The filling will continue to set as it cools.

Step 13

Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream for an extra creamy treat!
