Method
Prepare Crust
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse in cold butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, blending until the dough holds together. Gather dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Blind Bake Crust
- Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze crust for 30 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the crust with parchment and fill with pie weights; bake for 30 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, then bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
Make Filling
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm whole milk until steaming but not boiling. In a separate saucepan, melt butter, stir in brown sugar and salt, bringing to a gentle boil. Slowly add the warm milk while stirring continuously.
Combine Ingredients
- Whisk heavy cream, egg yolks, and whole egg into the cornstarch slurry until smooth. Gradually add this mixture into the saucepan while stirring consistently. Cook filling over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it thickens and bubbles gently.
Assemble Pie
- Once the filling has thickened, remove from heat and stir in butterscotch chips until fully melted. Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
