Tarte au sucre · Montreal
Tarte au sucre is Quebec's sugar pie, a shallow pastry shell filled with brown or maple sugar, cream and butter baked into a soft, fudgy filling.
Sugar pie grew out of Quebec's maple and sugar-beet traditions, a thrifty dessert built from pantry staples. It appears on cabane a sucre tables in spring and holiday spreads in winter, and bakeries like Premiere Moisson keep it in the case year-round. Maple-sugar versions are prized above brown-sugar ones.
