Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Brown sugar (do not pack)
6 tbsp All purpose flour
1 cup Half and half
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
Pinch of Salt
1 tsp Vanilla
Butter
Cinnamon

Direction:
Mix together brown sugar and flour and put in bottom of an unbaked deep dish pie shell. Then mix together Half and half, whipping cream, salt, and vanilla. Slowly pour this mixture over the top of the brown sugar mixture.

DO NOT STIR!!!!! Dot with slices of butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake for 50 minutes. Serve slices of pie slightly warm.

**I have found that baking the pie in a glass pie dish has better results then using the pie shell already in a aluminum pan. The aluminum ready pie crust seems to over cook the brown sugar and make it hard instead of a gelatin type substance. Also Vanilla ice cream is a great accompaniment to the pie. Plus it will help ease some of the kick from the richness of the pie.
