Pumpkin, Bourbon and Maple Syrup Crème Brûlée Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup raw sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, heavy cream, maple syrup, bourbon, egg yolks, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined and smooth.
3. Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
4. Sprinkle the top of the pie with raw sugar and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar, creating a crispy, burnt-sugar top. Serve and enjoy!
