Instructions

Step 1

In a food processor, process flour, 2 tbsp. maple sugar, butter, 1⁄4 tsp. salt, and egg until a dough forms; transfer to a work surface and form into a flat disk. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll dough to 1⁄8″ thickness; transfer to a 9″ pie plate and refrigerate.

Step 2

Heat oven to 400°. In a food processor, process remaining maple sugar and salt with heavy cream, milk, and potato starch until smooth. Pour into lined pie plate and drape edges of dough over filling; bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375° and continue baking until crust is golden brown and filling is set, 20–25 minutes.
