Prep Time: 10 minutes ; Cook Time: 26 minutes ; Total Time: 36 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 DEEP DISH pie crust at room temperature (I used a frozen one, but you can use refrigerated pie crusts too)
- 4 Tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 4 Tbsp butter melted
- 2¼ cups heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
FOR TOPPING:
- 4 Tbsp butter melted
- ¼-½ cup cinnamon sugar 1/4 or 1/2 cup sugar with 2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon mixed in. Start with 1/4 cup, but
- add up to 1/2 cup if you prefer things spicy.
Directions
Step1
Preheat oven to 450°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Step2
Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 375°.
Step3
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla
Step4
Transfer to crust; sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate
