How to Make Amish Cream Pie

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups half-and-half (or light cream) until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour the custard filling into a 9-inch baked pie crust.
5. Sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon.
6. Bake in a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for 30 minutes. The center will still be slightly jiggly – that's okay!
7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
8. Refrigerate for at least 3-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to fully set.
9. Serve chilled and enjoy!
