Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Roll out dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin and fit into an 8-inch (3-cup) glass pie plate. Trim excess dough and crimp edges decoratively. Bake 20 minutes, or until very lightly golden brown but not completely baked.

Step 3

Whisk together brown sugar and eggs until creamy. Add cream, maple syrup, butter, then whisk until smooth. Pour filling into pie shell.

Step 4

Bake pie in lower third of oven until pastry is golden and filling is puffed and looks dry but still trembles, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack to room temperature (filling will set as pie cools).

Step 5

Serve slightly warm with crème fraiche or unsweetened whipped cream.
