Sugar pie

Sugar pie is a dessert in northern French and Belgian cuisine, where it is called tarte au sucre.

It is also popular in Canada.

Some are a leavened dough topped with beet sugar or brown sugar, others have a crust containing a homogeneous sugar mixture which is similar to caramel after baking.

The French Canadian version of the dessert sometimes uses maple syrup.
