MAPLE SYRUP PIE

Maple Syrup Pie image

Folks in New Hampshire apparently appreciate maple syrup almost as much as we do in Vermont. When my husband and I took a road trip through New Hampshire, we discovered this pie at a number of diners and restaurants. We loved it so much we created our own version. -Laurie Herr, Westford, Vermont
