Line a pie plate with an uncooked pie crust. Fold the edges under and create a decorative finish along the top edge of the crust.
Pour heavy cream and half and half in a heavy sauce pan. Heat until warm over low to medium low heat. Stir occassionally.
Cut butter into slices and add to the cream. Heat until warm and stir occasionally until melted.
Mix together sugar and cornstarch. When the cream mixture is warm turn to low heat and slowly add the dry ingredients. Stir constantly until mixed.
Remove pan from the heat and continue to stir to prevent sticking to the bottom. Let the mixture sit about 5 minutes before pouring into the unbaked shell.
Bake uncovered at 350℉ for 45 minutes. Let cool and then chill before serving.

There will be a some extra filling, but not enough to make a second pie.
Sprinkle up to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the top before baking if desired.
The center of the pie will cook and become deep brown and bubble up, this is normal and will taste fine.
Serve chilled for best results.
