There's nothing quite like homemade maple pie to bring that cozy autumn feeling into your kitchen. This recipe has been a favorite of mine for years because it's surprisingly simple to pull together, taking just thirty minutes of prep work before it goes into the oven. Pure Canadian maple syrup is the star here, and beyond its incredible rich flavor, it actually contains beneficial antioxidants and minerals like manganese that you won't find in refined sugars. What I love most is how affordable and straightforward this pie is to make using pantry staples you probably already have on hand. Within forty five minutes of baking time, you'll have a golden, beautiful pie that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.

Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and milk until well combined.
Tip: This will help to create a smooth and even glaze.
- 5
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the butter mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a shaggy dough.
Tip: Don't overmix at this stage.
- 6
Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until the dough comes together in a ball.
Tip: If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more milk.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
Tip: Don't overwork the dough.

Roll the dough out into a circle that is about 3mm thick.
Tip: Use a rolling pin to get the dough to the right thickness.

Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from bubbling during baking.
Tip: This will also help the crust to brown evenly.

Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Tip: This will help the crust to hold its shape while it bakes.
- 12
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights or beans.
Tip: This will help the crust to brown evenly.
- 13
Return the crust to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
Tip: Keep an eye on the crust while it bakes, as it can go from golden to burnt quickly.
- 14
Allow the crust to cool completely before filling with the maple syrup glaze.
Tip: This will help the glaze to set properly.
