Hi Caroline! This can get a little funky when it sits so I wouldn’t recommend it!

Do you think that would work for this or would the browned butter mess it up?

I made this for Thanksgiving to mix it up from our traditional pumpkin, apple, and pecan and it was a lovely addition to the pie selection. I pulled the pie out at about 46 mins because it looked golden brown on top (even a bit darker than the *light golden brown color the recipe mentioned), but I wish I would have kept it in longer because the filling was a little more gooey/runny than I would’ve preferred (which is the reason I give this a 4 instead of a 5…and not sure what would’ve fixed this issue…keeping it in oven longer? putting less maple + more cornmeal? cooling it for longer than 3 hours?). It’s also a VERY sweet pie. I know that’s the whole point of dessert, and not a bad thing AT ALL, just helpful to know if you know your crowd might not prefer a really sweet pie. I am a maple fanatic so I loved it, AND the pie crust…amazing and perfectly flaky. Thank you for making baking something new so approachable <3

Hi Cindy! I do find this pie very sweet. I’ve never tried it with reducing the sugar so I can’t guarantee it will work, but you could try to go down to 1/2 cup sugar!

Hi Brittany! I do–it just will have a distinct honey flavor rather than maple!

Or if you were to reduce the sugar, how much could you reduce it by? Thank you!

You absolutely can! You can make it up to 2 months in advance, let is cool completely and then tightly wrap and freeze!

I followed the directions exactly. The texture was grainy and none of my guests cared for it. Also it was VERY sweet.
