If you’re looking for a dessert that combines the rich, creamy texture of buttermilk with the warm sweetness of maple syrup, this Maple Buttermilk Pie is your perfect match. This pie is not only easy to prepare but also a unique twist on a classic southern comfort dessert.
The foundation of this pie is a pre-made pie crust, saving you time and effort. Granulated sugar provides the sweetness, while all-purpose flour helps thicken the filling. A pinch of salt enhances all the flavors. The unsalted butter adds richness, and buttermilk gives the pie its signature tangy creaminess. Eggs are the binding agents, creating a custard-like texture. Vanilla extract and pure maple syrup layer in depth and warmth, while a touch of lemon juice brightens the overall flavor. Finally, a sprinkle of ground nutmeg on top adds an aromatic finish.
This Maple Buttermilk Pie is delightful on its own, but you can elevate it further by serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a touch of elegance, drizzle a bit of extra maple syrup over each slice just before serving.
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it’s ready to go when your pie is assembled. Next, take your pre-made pie crust and gently place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it lightly to fit snugly. Set this aside while you whip up the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients until evenly mixed. Now, add in the melted butter, buttermilk, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir everything together until fully combined — you want a smooth, cohesive mixture.
Carefully pour this filling into your prepared pie crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed. Sprinkle a light dusting of ground nutmeg over the top for added flavor and visual appeal.
Place the pie in your preheated oven, baking for 50-60 minutes. You’re looking for the filling to set and the top to achieve a light golden-brown color. Once baked, allow the pie to cool to room temperature before serving to ensure the filling is firm enough to slice.
