Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Maple syrup — Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Avoid using pancake syrup or artificial maple-flavored syrups as they won't provide the same authentic taste.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a deeper flavor, consider using dark amber or grade B maple syrup.
  • To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, blind bake it before adding the filling. Simply line the pie crust with parchment paper, fill it with pie weights or dried beans, and bake for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can increase the amount of maple syrup slightly.

Serving advice

Serve the Classic Maple Sugar Pie at room temperature or slightly warmed. Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, dust the top of the pie with a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving. You can also garnish each slice with a drizzle of maple syrup and a small maple leaf-shaped pastry cutout.
