Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the 1 pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and crimp edges as desired.

  2. Step 2

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, and 2 tbsp butter. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract. Pour filling into the crust.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, until filling is set around edges but slightly jiggly in center and top is browned.

  5. Step 5

    Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
