MAPLE SYRUP PIE
Folks in New Hampshire apparently appreciate maple syrup almost as much as we do in Vermont. When my husband and I took a road trip through New Hampshire, we discovered this pie at a number of diners and restaurants. We loved it so much we created our own version. -Laurie Herr, Westford, Vermont

MAPLE SYRUP SUGAR PIE
My husband's coworker was looking for someone to bake him a perfect sugar pie, which I'm told is served as a traditional dessert in Quebec, Canada. Of course, I took up the challenge when he asked and was able to come up with this recipe. He states that he's never seen his mom take two helpings of dessert and that its taste and texture is perfect. The pie crust is my mom's recipe. This is a very sweet pie and I have found that a good quality maple syrup is essential. You can also add raisins or currants for a little bit of a switch-up!

MAPLE SYRUP PIE
Tarte au Sirop d' Érable "My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic dessert at Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens while on vacation in Quebec, Canada," Says Deb Kalikow of Natick, Massachusetts. "Maple syrup pie served with crème fraîche is its specialty. The pie capped off a perfect dinner of delicious French-Canadian dishes. We ate at another restaurant the next night and tried the maple syrup pie there. We were so disappointed by our first bites that we then went back to Aux Anciens Canadiens and waited an hour just to have another piece of their pie." Don't be tempted to forgo the cream with this pie; it perfectly complements the dessert's rich silkiness and balances the sweetness.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, maple syrup, and lemons will give your pie the best flavor.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites: Stiff peaks are ideal, but overbeating will make the meringue tough.
- Bake the pie at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meringue from browning too much.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the meringue from cracking.
- Serve the pie with fresh fruit or whipped cream: This will add extra flavor and make your pie even more delicious.
Conclusion:
Maple syrup meringue pie is a classic Canadian dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and fluffy meringue, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
