Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Prepare your pie crust, rolling out a homemade version or using a purchased one, and place it into a 9-inch pie plate.
3
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of raw sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well.
4
Brush the melted butter over the crust and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set the crust aside to let the flavors meld.
5
To make the syrup, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup of butter, water, light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat.
6
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar completely.
7
Once boiling, let it boil gently for 2 minutes before removing it from the heat. Stir in another 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and set the syrup aside.
8
For the filling, in a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed for about 30 seconds until creamy.
9
Gradually add the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar, mixing until thoroughly combined.
10
Add the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating well until the mixture is smooth.
11
Gradually blend in the milk, followed by the all-purpose flour, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
12
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pie crust.
13
Carefully pour the syrup over the top of the filling, allowing it to seep into the batter.
14
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the syrup layer.
15
Cover the edges of the pie with foil to prevent burning.
16
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then carefully remove the foil.
17
Continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the pie is puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
18
Once baked, allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then serve warm for the best experience.
