Sugar pie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sugar pie is a typical dessert of northern France, Belgium and Quebec. It is a single crust pie with a filling made from flour, butter, salt, vanilla, cream, and brown sugar or maple syrup (sometimes both). When baked, these ingredients combine into a homogenous mixture similar to caramel. If maple syrup is used it might be referred to as maple pie.

It is vaguely reminiscent of an American "transparent pie" (the name in the Midwestern and Southern US for a version of pecan pie without the pecans), of English Canadian butter tarts, or of English treacle tart.
