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!)

Ingredients For maple syrup pie

  • 1
    pastry dough or frozen pastry shell
  • 1/2 c
    packed light brown sugar
  • 2 lg
    eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 c
    heavy cream
  • 1/3 c
    pure maple syrup (dark amber if possible)
  • 2 tsp
    unsalted butter, melted
  • creme fraiche or whipped cream

How To Make maple syrup pie

  • 1
    Heat 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!
  • 2
    Whisk together brown sugar and eggs until creamy. Add cream, syrup, and butter, then whisk until smooth. Pour filling into pie shell.
  • 3
    Bake 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).
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
