Ingredients

Scale

Crust

1 sheet refrigerated pie dough (or homemade)

Flour, for dusting

Filling

½ cup pure maple syrup

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

2 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Topping

Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Optional Twists

Add 1 tablespoon chopped pecans to each pie for crunch

Mix in ½ teaspoon cinnamon or bourbon for added depth

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan.

Roll out pie dough on a floured surface. Cut into 12 rounds using a 3-inch cutter. Press into muffin tin wells.

In a bowl, whisk maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, egg, cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Spoon filling into each crust, about ¾ full.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until filling is set and crust is golden.

Cool slightly, then sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
