Preparation

Preheat oven to 175ºC (375ºF). On a floured work surface, roll out the dough and place it in a 22 cm (9-inch) pie pan. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix all filling ingredients until smooth.

Pour the filling onto the crust. In a bowl, combine egg yolk and the milk, and brush this mixture around the edge of the pie crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes.

In a bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add the granulated sugar and maple syrup and whisk lightly.

When the pie has cooled down, top with maple whipped cream, and a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
