Maple Pie

My friend, Brad, recommended this recipe to me. I was hooked after the first bite. Such an unusual way of baking, with a cake batter on the bottom and pouring a sauce over the top - and then it flips during the baking process! I found the recipe here. 

Maple Pie

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup maple syrup

1cup heavy whipping cream

1 tsp salt, divided

1 1/4 cups flour

3 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

2/3 cup milk

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

6 tbsp butter, melted

HOW TO PREPARE:

Adjust oven rack 6 inches from top of oven and heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat maple syrup, cream and ½ teaspoon salt in medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering, about 5 minutes. Off heat, whisk to combine, then transfer to heatproof 2-cup liquid measuring cup.

Mix milk, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Add melted butter. Blend until smooth.

Grease a deep pie dish pan. Pour cake batter in and smooth the top. Pour syrup mixture slowly down corner of baking dish so it flows gently over top of cake batter.

Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of cake layer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
