Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 23 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar for crust
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine flour and salt; add sugar if desired. Cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until dough holds together.
  2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches wide. Transfer it to your pie pan, pressing it in gently, and prick the bottom with a fork.
  3. Blind bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden, using weights or dried beans.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  5. Pour filling into pre-baked crust and bake for 35-40 minutes until just set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours before serving.
