Backwoods Maple Pie is a cozy, old-fashioned dessert that blends brown sugar, maple syrup, and warm spices into a rich custard filling. Baked in a flaky pie shell and topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit, this pie brings a taste of rustic comfort to your table. Perfect for holiday gatherings.
In a small mixing bowl, use a whisk to beat the egg whites until frothy. Set aside for a second.
In a large mixing bowl, stir the egg yolks, brown sugar, maple syrup, condensed milk, melted butter, cinnamon and nutmeg together until combined.
Add the whipped egg whites and fold into the mixture.
Pour the maple syrup mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie shell. Bake for 40-45 minutes. The edges of the pie should be completely set and look firm but the middle will still be slightly jiggly. The pie will firm up as it cools.
Cool until the pie is at least at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh fruit.
