*TARTE AU SUCRE*


And again... my mom would make this sugar pie quite often when I was growing up. it’s really good, but it’s veeeeery sweet. So I normally just have a little piece with a little... whip cream on top... and you have the world’s best pie. :))

1 pie crust, unbaked
6 tbsp. flour
2 cups packed brown sugar (or half brown sugar, half maple sugar is you have / can afford it)
1 1/2 cups low fat evaporated milk
4 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla or maple ext

Preheat oven to 400F
In a saucepan, combine flour and sugar and mix.
Stir in milk slowly to avoid lumps, then add butter and salt.
Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil.
Remove from heat, add vanilla or maple extract.
Pour into an unbaked pie shell.
Bake at 400F for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350F and continue baking for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool in a rack.
Serve cooled in small wedges, with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream if desired.
