Instructions

Prepare the pie crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the pre-bought pie dough and press it gently into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges, then crimp the edges neatly around the pie plate to create an even border. Set aside your prepared crust.
Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Grade A maple syrup, heavy cream, light brown sugar, eggs, melted and cooled butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined, ensuring a consistent filling texture.
Assemble and bake: Pour the filling evenly into the prepared pie crust. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. At around the 30-minute mark, check the crust; if the edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning. The filling should be set but may still have a slight jiggle in the center.
Cool the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for at least 2 hours. Cooling allows the filling to fully set and makes slicing easier.
Serve: Once cooled, slice the pie and serve as is or topped with a dollop of maple whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. Enjoy your classic Vermont-inspired maple pie!

Notes

The baked pie will be golden brown on the edges and set but slightly jiggly in the center, which is normal.
Allowing the pie to cool completely is essential for proper setting and clean slices.
If the filling seems too soft after cooling, refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to help it firm up.
For best flavor, use a high-quality Grade A maple syrup.
