Sugar Cream Pie

My microwave and I are on the outs right now.

First, you must know that our microwave is the worst in all the land. Well, maybe the second worst. It still works, so it has that going for it. But just because it works, doesn’t mean it works well. In fact, it kind of sucks at life.

You see, something’s wrong deep inside the microwave. What may have started as a normal microwave is no longer a normal microwave. Something very bad must have happened along the way – a blown fuse, improper treatment, what have you… Because now it only kind of heats up food which is annoying when you’re trying to actually eat hot food.

This Sugar Cream Pie is so amazing! It has a custard filling that's to die for.

Ingredients

• 1 DEEP DISH pie crust, at room temperature (I used a frozen one, but you can use refrigerated pie crusts too)
• 4 Tbsp cornstarch
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• 2 & ¼ cups heavy cream
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• FOR TOPPING:
• 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• ¼ - ½ cup cinnamon sugar (1/4 or ½ cup sugar with 2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon mixed in. Start with ¼ cup, but add up to ½ cup if you prefer things spicy).

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place the pie crust onto a baking sheet. Or, if using a refrigerated crust, lightly grease a 9" pie pan, put the crust in, and set the pan on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until partially baked. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and sugar until blended. In a medium saucepan, bring the cornstarch-sugar mixture, melted butter and heavy cream together over medium heat, stirring constantly. The mixture is done when it's thick and creamy. Stir in the vanilla.
3. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth out the top. Drizzle on the melted butter and evenly sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar. Bake for approx. 25 minutes, then turn on the broiler and broil for about 1 minute, watching carefully. Remove from oven and allow to come to room temperature before refrigerating for at least one hour to set. Store in fridge.
