"Quebec Sugar Pie has as many versions as cooks, but tradition demands that the filling be somewhat thin in consistency and, because of its richness, that the depth of the filling be much less than for pies in general." - Laura Secord Canadian Cookbook

This quote perfectly encapsulates how I've experienced sugar pie my entire life. These pies are a staple at every family gathering during the winter, especially during the holidays and Sugaring-Off season (maple syrup making season). For the longest time, I let my aunts handle the sugar pie making, but now it's our turn to carry on these beloved family traditions.
