Quebec Maple Sugar Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place the pie crust in its plate in a large, shallow baking pan lined with foil in case of a boil-over.
• Bring maple syrup to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, to reduce syrup down by about one-quarter. Stir in cream, bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat.
• Whisk egg yolks and egg together in a large bowl. Very gradually add the cream mixture to the eggs, about 1/4 cup at a time, whisking constantly. Stir in salt, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust.
• Bake until the pie is mostly set but jiggles slightly when moved, about 1 hour. Let cool before serving.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out dough into a 14-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick). Fit dough into an 11-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim and trim flush with rim. Chill shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Lightly prick bottom of shell all over with a fork and line shell with foil. Fill foil with pie weights or rice and bake shell in middle of oven 15 minutes. Carefully remove weights or rice and foil and bake shell until golden, about 8 minutes more. Cool shell in pan on a rack. Shell may be made 1 day ahead and kept in pan, covered, at room temperature.
• Reduce temperature to 350°F.
• In a bowl whisk together maple sugar and flour. Add cream and whisk until smooth. Pour filling into shell and bake in middle of oven 45 minutes, or until fling is set. Cool pie to warm in pan on rack and remove rim.
• Serve pie warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the maple syrup to a gentle boil. Cook the maple syrup for 5 minutes, reducing heat if necessary. Remove the saucepan from the heat Stir in the butter until melted. Add the heavy cream and stir. Transfer 1/2 cup of the mixture to a small bowl; whisk in the flour and salt and then whisk this back into the mixture in the saucepan. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then whisk them into the mixture in the saucepan until well incorporated and the consistency is smooth. Roll out the pie dough and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the warm filling into the pie shell. Bake in oven for 50 - 60 minutes, until the center is golden brown, bubbly and relatively firm when lightly jiggled back and forth. Some jiggle is ok, but we don't want too much. Cool pie completely on at room temperature before slicing. This will take at LEAST 1-2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• 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.
