How to Make Vermont Maple Sugar Pie
- **Make the Crust:** In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup cold shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ice water, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges to create a decorative border.
- Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes.
- **Make the Filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 3 large eggs, 1 cup maple syrup, and 1 cup heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
