TARTE AU SUCRE JAUNE

This is an old recipe that has it's origins in French Canada. The Amish call it MILICHE FLITCHE (Poor Man's Pie), and add a bit of cinnamon.. The Cajuns top it with Meringue. Down south, it's just called BROWN SUGAR PIE. I found this recipe in the University of North Carolina's student newspaper, along with a story about a homesick student bringing a bit of grandma's house to campus. I decided to try it, and really liked it.

There are dozens of variations of this on the internet! So you might want to look for one that strikes your fancy! But I thought this was very tasty.
