Ingredients

Pie Filling

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Pie Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the pie evenly.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until thoroughly combined to form a smooth base for the filling.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition to maintain a smooth texture.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in the buttermilk, pure maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla extract, blending all the flavors together evenly.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Fill the Crust: Pour the prepared filling mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pie filling is set and the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to let the filling firm up. Optionally, serve with whipped cream for added richness.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overbake; the pie should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when removed from the oven.
  • Use high-quality pure maple syrup and bourbon for the best flavor.
  • Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute buttermilk with a plant-based milk mixed with lemon juice or vinegar.
