- 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (balances honey’s sweetness)
- ¼ cup cornmeal (fine grind; almond flour can be a gluten-free alternative)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (enhances overall flavor)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice (adds brightness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (infuses aromatic sweetness)
- ½ cup honey (high-quality recommended)
- 3 large eggs (acts as a binder)
- ½ cup heavy cream (adds richness)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and blind bake your pre-baked 9-inch pie crust for 12-15 minutes using weights. Let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, salt, vinegar, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each. Then pour in heavy cream and whisk until creamy and uniform.
- Pour filling into the pre-baked crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes until the center is set but jiggles slightly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to firm up the filling.
- Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance flavors. Serve with berries or whipped cream.
Notes
- This pie can be made a day in advance.
