1

Prick the pie crust with a fork and parbake it for 5 minutes in a 400°F (204°C) oven, then turn the oven down to 350°F (177°C).

2

Mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, flour, cornstarch, egg yolks, and eggs in a mixing bowl.

3

Warm the evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers, then remove from heat and add the cold butter.

4

Slowly pour the warm milk into the mixture while stirring until well combined and the sugar dissolves.

5

Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell.

6

Bake at 350°F (177°C) until the mixture is set but still has a slight jiggle, about 25 minutes for a small shell and 45 minutes for a larger shell.
