Description
One Pot Mini Salted Maple Pies are decadent, bite-sized desserts featuring a rich, buttery filling made with pure maple syrup and brown sugar, baked in a crisp mini crust, and finished with a touch of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet-salty balance.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup pure maple syrup (Grade A amber or dark)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp kosher salt
12 mini pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)
Flaky sea salt, for topping
Optional: whipped cream, candied pecans, or maple drizzle for garnish
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange mini pie crusts in a muffin tin or tart pan. Blind bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
Make the Filling: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and maple syrup until dissolved and smooth. Remove from heat.
Finish the Filling: Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Stir until well combined and glossy.
Fill and Bake: Pour the filling evenly into mini crusts. Bake for 22–26 minutes or until edges are set and centers slightly jiggle.
Cool and Garnish: Let pies cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Top with flaky sea salt and any desired garnishes before serving.
