Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the oven rack in the center of the oven to ensure even baking.
- Remove the pre-made pie crust from refrigeration and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, maple syrup, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well blended, ensuring no dry mix remains at the bottom of the bowl.
- Carefully transfer the pre-made pie crust to a 9-inch pie dish if it's not already in one. Gently press the crust edges to ensure it fits snugly against the dish's sides.
- Pour the prepared brownie mixture into the pie crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure it reaches all corners of the crust.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for approximately 1-2 hours. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve for an elegant finish.
- Slice into 10 equal wedges and serve. For best results, serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow your eggs and other ingredients to come to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smoother, more consistent batter.
- Don't Overmix: When combining your brownie ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense brownies.
- Oven Positioning: Use the center rack to promote even baking and prevent burning.
- Toothpick Test: The key to perfect brownies is knowing when to stop baking. A few moist crumbs on the toothpick mean your pie is perfectly done.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the pie cool completely to allow it to set properly. Cutting too soon can result in a messy slice.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Storage Tip: Cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
