Butterscotch Pie is a classic dessert renowned for its rich butterscotch flavor and smooth creamy texture. The filling is meticulously prepared with ingredients such as butter, sugar, cream, and vanilla, filling a crispy pie crust and then baked to form a golden, inviting caramelized top layer. Butterscotch Pie boasts a multi-layered taste and an enticing appearance, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings or festive celebrations.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare Pie Crust: If using homemade pie crust, follow the recipe and line a pie dish, leaving an edge for sealing. If using store-bought crust, follow the package instructions.

2. Make Butterscotch Sauce: In a large pot, combine softened butter and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture turns a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.

3. Add Cream and Corn Syrup: Slowly add heavy cream and corn syrup, continuing to stir to prevent the caramel from splattering. Add salt.

4. Add Vanilla: If using a vanilla bean, add the scraped vanilla seeds to the pot. If using vanilla extract, add it after the butterscotch sauce has slightly cooled.

5. Add Eggs: Slowly add the beaten eggs, stirring constantly to ensure they are fully incorporated into the butterscotch sauce.

6. Pour into Pie Crust: Pour the butterscotch sauce into the prepared pie crust, ensuring an even fill.

7. Bake: Place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the surface is golden brown.

8. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to fully set.

9. Serve: Slice and sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with a bit of cream as decoration before serving.

• When making butterscotch sauce, stir constantly to prevent burning.
