Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To prepare the pie crust, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 cup of unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add 3 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Gently transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the dish and trimming any overhang. Crimp the edges for a decorative finish and set the crust aside.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of brown sugar and 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour. Whisk the mixture to eliminate any lumps.

Step 6

Slowly add 2 cups of whole milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth mixture.

Step 7

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 8–10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 9

Pour the sugar mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top to create a caramelized crust during baking.

Step 11

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.

Step 13

Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy your Old Fashioned Sugar Pie!
