Quebec City Sugar Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 cup maple sugar or 1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
pie dough, for an 8-inch pie including lattice top

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.
In a heavy saucepan, bring the syrup and butter to a boil, stirring constantly.
Add the cream and milk, stir, add the sugar and flour. Keep stirring and bring to a boil. Lower heat slightly so that the mixture does not boil over, but continue to simmer. Stir and cook until mixture thickens substantially, about 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough. Line an 8-inch pie pan with dough. Pour the filling mixture into the pie shell. Cover with lattice strips. Crimp edges to seal. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown, but do not over bake. Remove pie and cool to room temperature.
