Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan graham cracker crumbs, melted butter or coconut oil, and maple syrup. Press this mixture evenly into a pie dish to form a crust. Bake for about 10 minutes until slightly golden. Allow the crust to cool completely.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the brewed espresso, full-fat coconut milk, almond milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if used), and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until thickened (about 8-10 minutes). Once thick, pour it into the cooled crust.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set. Once chilled, slice and serve.

For added flavor, serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup.
