Ingredients:

1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
2 TBSPs cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
3 TBSPs butter
3 large egg whites
1/2 TSP vanilla extract
1/4 TSP cream of tartar
6 TBSPs sugar

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On a lightly floured surface, roll crust to fit a 9" pie plate.
Trim and flute edge.
Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil.
Fill with pie weights.
Bake on a lower oven rack until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack.
In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth.
Stir in syrup and cream.
Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly, 2-3 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat.
Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly.
Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat.
Gently stir in butter.
Pour into pastry shell.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually beat in sugar, 1 TBSP at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
Spread evenly over hot filling, sealing edges to crust.
Bake until meringue is golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
