📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Tarte au sucre has roots in the sugar pies of northern France and Belgium, and in Quebec it developed its own style with maple syrup and brown sugar. Its filling is gooey like caramel, and it appears on the table at Christmas and New Year's Eve. It's enjoyed in small slices with strong coffee.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a snowbound Quebec home on Christmas night, a slice of pie is cut and the deep amber filling oozes out.
