Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup maple sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 unbaked 8-inch pie shell
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream

Directions

  1. Mix maple sugar, brown sugar and flour. Sprinkle evenly over pie shell.
  2. Pour cream over sugar mixture and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until pastry is golden brown. This will take approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
  3. Serve warm.
  4. Note: Maple trees were the only source of sugar for many pioneer families in eastern Canada. Each spring they stock-piled enough rich brown cakes of maple sugar to last all year. Brown sugar can be substituted for the maple sugar.
