01 Step

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar. Add the 4 tablespoons of melted butter and the half-and-half. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens to a creamy consistency. (8-10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. (1 minute)
04 Step

Preheat oven broiler to high. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Pour the creamy mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the top, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Place the pie under the broiler, watching very carefully, until the butter bubbles and the top is lightly golden brown. This happens quickly, so keep a close eye on it! (1-3 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (60 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. To do this, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before using.
The broiling time can vary depending on your oven, so keep a close watch to prevent burning. The goal is to get a nicely browned, bubbly top.
If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with a mixture of milk and heavy cream. For example, use 1 cup of milk and 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream.
