\ud83e\udd67 The sugar pie that tastes like the sugar shack!<\/h3>\n

Sugar pie is just too good. I needed my own version on the site, and this one takes me straight back to the sugar shack: a brown sugar and cream filling that sets like a slightly runny custard, with a caramelized top that cracks a little under the fork. It is an old-fashioned Quebec tarte au sucre, no detours, and one slice is never enough!<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd63 Two bowls, a whisk, and into the oven<\/h3>\n

This is an easy sugar pie recipe, for real. Brown sugar, flour and salt in one bowl. Cream, melted butter, eggs and vanilla in the other. You whisk the two together until smooth, pour it into the crust and the oven does the rest. Fifteen minutes of work, no more.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf6e A cream filling with a caramelized top<\/h3>\n

In the oven the filling puffs a little, then settles back as it cools, and it is a beautiful thing to watch. The top turns golden and lightly caramelized, with a thin crust that cracks. Underneath it is creamy and firm enough to cut into clean slices. It has nothing to do with my maple syrup pie<\/a>: this one is made with brown sugar, and it is a very different pie. Both are unreal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
