Melt granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until amber-colored. Carefully whisk in milk and cream until smooth. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Slowly add the caramel mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
3. Bake the Pie
Pour filling into pre-baked crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 45–55 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Cool completely before serving.
Serving Tips

Storage Tips
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
