Folks in New Hampshire apparently appreciate maple syrup almost as much as we do in Vermont. When my husband and I took a road trip through New Hampshire, we discovered this pie at a number of diners and restaurants. We loved it so much we created our own version. —Laurie Herr, Westford, Vermont


Test Kitchen tips
  • While real maple syrup is pricey, it is well worth the expense. Don't substitute imitation maple syrup in this recipe.
  • The filling is pretty loose at first, setting up nicely as it sits and cools. It stays pretty soft and doesn't get very firm but does hold up when sliced.

    Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 400°. In a large saucepan, whisk cornstarch and water until smooth; whisk in syrup. Bring to boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted. Set aside to cool.
    2. 2
      On a lightly floured surface, roll dough for bottom crust to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Chill 30 minutes. Meanwhile, roll remaining dough to 1/4-in.-thickness; cut out maple leaves with 1-1/2 to 2-1/2- inch cookie cutters. Place on a baking sheet; chill.
    3. 3
      Transfer maple filling to prepared pie plate. Bake 10 minutes on a lower oven rack. Reduce oven setting to 350°. Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 35-40 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Bake leaf cutouts until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Arrange cutouts on top of pie to serve.
