Canadian Sugar Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pie pastry, of your choice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 pinch nutmeg
1/3 cup butter

Preparation

Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry.
Stir soda and vanilla into maple syrup and pour into unbaked pastry.
Blend remaining ingredients with your fingertips until mixture is crumbly, then spread over syrup.
Place a piece of foil under pan, because the pie often bubbles over.
Bake at 350 F.
for 30 minutes and let cool---it is best cold.
