Prepare the butterscotch pie filling. Combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir consistently for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture reaches a boil and begins to thicken and turns brown.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and the reserved 1 tablespoon of milk.

Return the saucepan to the stove over medium-low heat and slowly add the egg mixture to the sugar mixture, stirring constantly.

Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, which usually takes about 5-10 minutes.

Pour the thickened hot filling into your prebaked pie dough.

Make the meringue and spread it evenly on top of the pie, ensuring it covers the entire filling and reaches the edges of the crust. Bake the pie at 350F until it turns light brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
