Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Pastry of your choice
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c maple syrup
1 c all-purpose flour
1 c dark brown sugar
pinch nutmeg
1/3 c butter
Line a 9" pie plate with pastry. Stir soda and vanilla into syrup and pour
into pastry. Blend remaining ingredients with your fingertips until mixture
is crumbly, then spread over syrup. Place a piece of foil under pan,
because the pie often bubbles over. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes
and let cool -- it is best cold.

NOTES : Every summer, requests pour in for this sugary, yet creamy pie.
People who travel, eat it in restaurants, then look for the recipe -- which
is almost as old as Canada. The following is made the way grand'mere taught
me, though there are all kinds of recipes.
