Ingredients
Scale
- For the pastry: 200g plain flour
- 100g unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 2–3 tbsp cold water

- 50g brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- For the vanilla custard: 500ml milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped
Instructions
- 1. Start by making the pastry: In a bowl, rub the flour and butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add cold water gradually until the dough forms.

- 6. While the pie is baking, make the vanilla custard: Heat the milk and vanilla seeds in a saucepan. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar, then pour in the hot milk, stirring constantly.
- 7. Return the custard mixture to the pan and cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring continuously.
- 8. Serve the pie warm with the vanilla custard poured over.
