Maple Apple Pie

Maple sugar is a nutritious all-natural sweetener, which our family loves to use in cooking regularly. Fall in Vermont is a beautiful time of year with colorful autumn leaves, brisk mornings, and a yearly trip to the local apple orchard! One of our favorite treats is baking maple apple pie using maple sugar. Below is the apple pie recipe that Carla Purinton uses. Note all measurements can be adjusted to satisfy your personal tastes!
