The secret to maple syrup sugar pie (it's in the butter)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start by preparing the pie crust using a food processor or Vitamix.

Add 125 g of cold butter and 125 g of all-purpose flour into the processor.

Pulse until the mixture is chunky, ensuring chunks of butter remain.

Add a touch of cold water until the mixture comes together, but still chunky.

Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Grease the pie pan with olive oil and dust with flour.

Roll out the chilled dough and trim the edges as needed, keeping it rustic.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tsp of cornstarch and 2 tbsp of flour.

Add 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Pour in 2 cups of maple syrup and mix until combined.

Add 1.5 cups of heavy cream and a pinch of salt, then mix until smooth.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 40 minutes, checking for a slight jiggle in the filling.

Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
