French Canadian Sugar Pie, also known as Tarte Au Sucre Francaise, is a beloved dessert in Quebec, Canada, especially during the holidays. This pie has a history dating back to the 1600s, when French settlers started making it with maple syrup as a sweetener. Over time, brown sugar became a more popular ingredient, resulting in the delicious pie we know today. Served warm with whipped cream or ice cream, this pie is perfect for gatherings with loved ones and is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth.
