Ingredients

1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
4 tablespoons cornstarch
0.75 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2.25 cups half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, melted
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
Combine cornstarch and sugar in a saucepan. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens, boils, and becomes creamy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Preheat your oven broiler to high heat. Pour the creamy mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the top and sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
Place the pie under the broiler until the butter topping starts to bubble – keep a close watch as it browns quickly.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour before slicing and serving.
