maple syrup pie
My husband and I were on a trip to eastern Canada a few years ago. While in Quebec City, we ate lunch at Aux Anciens Canadiens. We had a wonderful meal followed by Maple Syrup Pie. It is a popular treat all over Canada. I found this version at Epicurious. (I don't make my own pastry dough, so added the frozen shell option!)

How To Make maple syrup pie
-
Step 1Heat oven to 350º F. You can use your favorite recipe and roll out dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin and fit into an 8-inch (3-cup) glass pie plate. Trim excess dough and crimp edges. OR Use a frozen 8 inch (deep-dish) pie shell!
-
Step 2Whisk together brown sugar and eggs until creamy. Add cream, syrup, and butter, then whisk until smooth. Pour filling into pie shell.
-
Step 3Bake pie in lower third of oven until pastry is golden and filling is puffed and looks dry but still trembles, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack to room temperature (filling will set as pie cools).
