Sugar Pie is a traditional dessert that has been cherished for generations, especially in Canadian and French culinary traditions where simple ingredients blend to create a rich, comforting flavor. This pie owes its depth to brown sugar, which caramelizes during baking, forming a sweet and slightly gooey filling that contrasts beautifully with a tender crust. Ideal for cozy family gatherings or as a comforting end to a meal, sugar pie pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Its simple ingredient list makes it accessible, yet its flavor profile is indulgently satisfying, making it a favorite for those who love classic desserts. Whether served at holiday feasts or casual weekend dinners, this pie delivers warm, inviting sweetness. The slow cooling and chilling process ensures a perfect set filling that maintains a creamy texture with a delightful crusty top layer, offering a pleasing mouthfeel with every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Plain Flour
  • 1 1/2 cup Milk

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to a steady 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), ensuring it's properly warmed for even baking. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking and to help with an easy release once your pie is baked. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and butter. Using an electric mixer, beat them together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, free from any lumps. This creamy base forms the rich foundation of your pie's filling. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully integrate them into the batter. Next, add the vanilla extract and salt, blending them in to enhance the flavor depth. Gradually beat in the plain flour a little at a time, ensuring it is fully absorbed before adding the next portion. Follow this by slowly mixing in the milk, careful to maintain a creamy, pourable batter. Pour this luscious batter into your prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly. Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. After the initial bake, carefully remove the pie and shield the rim with aluminum foil. This tip prevents the edges from over-browning during the remaining baking time. Return the pie to the oven and continue baking until the center sets completely and the top develops a crusty, golden layer, approximately 15 more minutes. This extended baking allows the sugary filling to thicken beautifully. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature on a wire rack. For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate the sugar pie for at least one hour before serving, which enhances its creaminess and makes slicing easier.
