QUEBECOIS MAPLE CREAM PIE
I had the most amazing sugar pie in Quebec City, Canada at a restaurant called the Cochon Dingue. (The Crazy Pig). Their version is custardy versus the soft-fudgy/brown sugar ones that are a regional specialty. The pie tastes better if made 1 night (or more) before serving. Good luck on having it around for that long! Serve topped with creme fraiche, if desired.

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:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Place the brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl, and beat them together with an electric mixer until creamy and very well combined, without lumps. Beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating the first egg before adding the next one. Add the vanilla extract and salt; beat the flour in, a little at a time, and then the milk, making a creamy batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes; remove pie, and cover the rim with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Return to oven, and bake until the middle sets and the top forms a crusty layer, about 15 more minutes. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

FRENCH CANADIAN MAPLE SUGAR PIE
I found this recipe in the Maple Syrup Cookbook by Ken Haedrich. He says it's like a pecan pie with a nice tart edge, and that it's excellent with vanilla ice cream. Where the recipe calls for brewed tea, he suggests using lemon herbal tea. I can't wait to try it!

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 for Making Quebec Maple Pie
- Use high-quality maple syrup. This is the key ingredient in the pie, so make sure it's pure and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the filling. The filling should be thick and syrupy, but not too stiff. Overcooking will make the filling tough and chewy.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.
- Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
