Ingredients
Vanilla Pie Filling:
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Spice Brulee Topping:
- 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roll the refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Generously pierce on the bottoms and sides. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just browned. Remove and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the cream and turn on heat to medium. Continue to whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves and it thickens, approximately 6-8 minutes. The thicken happens fast and you must whisk continuously to prevent scalding.
- When it thickens, remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla bean paste (or extract) and salt.
- Pour the vanilla filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Reduce the oven heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 23-25 minutes or until the custard starts to bubble and then develop a layer of skin on top.
- Remove and allow to cool or immediately top with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- When ready to serve, mix together the cinnamon sugar with nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Baste the top of the pie with the melted butter and then evenly sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Using a butane torch, brulee the sugar until it melts, browns and hardens.
- Serve immediately.
