Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 recipe easy pie crust
• 3 tablespoons whole milk
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (plus more for dusting)
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crust: Roll out your easy pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired. To prevent sogginess, brush the crust with 3 tablespoons of whole milk and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined thoroughly.

3. 3

   Add Dairy and Flavoring: Slowly pour in 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and 1 1/2 cups half-and-half into the dry mixture, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free custard base. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for aroma and depth of flavor.

4. 4

   Fill and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust. Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

5. 5

   Cool and Dust: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust the top lightly with ground cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth and decoration.
