Ingredients

  • 1 prepared pie crust
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  2. In a saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar and flour.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking until smooth.
  4. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
  5. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks.
  6. Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot caramel mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
  7. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until smooth and thick.
  8. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
  9. Pour the caramel filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top.

Notes

  • Toasted pecans make a delicious crunchy topping.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for a salted caramel variation.
  • A graham cracker crust can be used instead of a traditional pie crust.
  • Stir constantly while cooking to keep the filling smooth and creamy.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
