2 cups heavy cream

3/4 cup sugar

4 tablespoons cornstarch

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon maple extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

3-4 scrapes of fresh nutmeg

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325º F and lay your crust out in a standard pie dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just lightly browned.

Step 2: Remove from oven and set aside.

Step 3: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter and heavy cream together until butter is melted, then whisk in cornstarch and sugar, stirring continuously until thickened. 6-7 minutes.

Step 4: Stir in maple syrup, maple extract, vanilla extract and salt, if using, and whisk until incorporated.

Step 5: Pour filling into pie crust, then drizzle remaining (melted) butter over the top.

Step 6: Whisk together remaining topping ingredients, sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over filling.

Step 7: Place baking dish in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Center should be set, but still a little wobbly.

Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool, then refrigerate until set. 2-3 hours
