Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon almond extract (or any you prefer)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 store bought pie crust, unbaked and thawed if frozen (9-inch)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap the packaging of the pie crust and place in a pie dish if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or wire whisk, blend together the 4 tablespoons butter and 1 ½ cup brown sugar.
Add in the 2 large eggs, ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon almond extract, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Continue mixing until all of the ingredients are combined. The mixture will be thin and runny.
Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Place into the preheated oven and bake from 50 to 55 minutes until the center of the pie has set and the top has lightly browned.
The pie will rise and become puffy while baking, but once removed from the oven it will deflate and settle. This will cause the pie to crack which is normal.
Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting to serve. Enjoy!
Cover and store the pie in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Notes

Make sure the pie crust is at least 9 inches in size. This recipe yields 1 pie.
The mixture will fill the pie crust almost to the top, so be sure to place a sheet pan underneath the pie as it bakes to prevent it from spilling out into the oven.
Use any flavor extract that you prefer. Try vanilla, lemon, or butter extract.
If you prefer not to use melted butter, you may use room-temperature butter and combine it together with the brown sugar until light and fluffy.
If you add warm melted butter to cold ingredients, the butter will solidify but continue mixing until the batter smoothes out.
