Maple Sugar Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange oven rack in middle position and top with heavy baking sheet. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• On lightly floured surface using lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough to 13-inch round. Fit into 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving 1/2-inch overhang, then fold over and crimp decoratively. Chill shell 30 minutes.
• Scatter walnuts in shell. In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and salt. Pour mixture into pie shell over nuts.
• Transfer pie to baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° F and bake until crust is golden and center is just set, 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Transfer pie to rack and cool at least 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Chop vegetable shortening into flour in a bowl with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk 1 egg with cold water and vinegar in a measuring cup. Use your fingers to make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour about half the egg mixture into the well; mix the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture. Mix remaining half of egg mixture into dough, stirring just until combined.
• Roll dough into an 10-inch circle on a floured work surface and fit the pie crust into the bottom of an 8-inch pie dish. Trim and flute the edges of the crust.
• Whisk maple syrup, 2 eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and brown sugar together in a bowl until brown sugar has dissolved. Pour filling into crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and small spots of sugary crust form on top of the filling, about 45 minutes. Chill until cold and firm, 5 to 6 hours, before serving.

Steps:

• To make crust: In a large mixing bowl, blend together flour, sugar and salt with a fork.
• Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter.
• In a small bowl, beat together water, egg yolk and vinegar.
• Pour liquid over flour mixture and mix quickly with a fork (texture will be sticky).
• Using your hands, shape dough into a disc and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Remove from refrigerator; roll dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
• Place in a 9-inch pie dish and trim to 1 inch over the edge of the pan.
• Fold under and crimp edge with fingers to make a high fluted border.
• Chill at least 30 minutes.
• To make filling: In a large bowl, whisk together all filling ingredients until smooth.
• Pour into chilled piecrust and bake about 35 minutes, or until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
• Cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
• Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
