Description
These salted maple mini pies are small, sweet, and savory treats. You make them with a buttery crust and a rich maple filling. A sprinkle of sea salt on top balances the sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.
- Make the crust. Mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough forms. Press dough into mini muffin cups.
- Bake crusts for 10 minutes. Let them cool slightly.
- Whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, cream, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Pour filling into each crust, filling almost to the top.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until filling is set. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each pie while warm.
- Cool completely before removing from tin.
Notes
- You can use a store-bought pie crust to save time.
- These pies taste best the same day, but you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
