My aunt, Francoise, from Quebec shared her simple recipe for simple maple treats that’s a breeze to prepare.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (see ‘notes’ below)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 8-ounce can of Pillsbury crescent rolls

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a 9-inch pie plate, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup and heavy cream using a fork to create a homogenous mixture.  Set aside.
3. Take the crescent rolls out of the packaging, but do not unroll.  Using a sharp knife, cut the rolls into 8 slices of the same width.  Place all the dough slices on their sides on top of the maple cream mixture.
4. Place the pie plate unto a cookie sheets (who wants to risk spillovers?) then into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the treats are golden brown.
5. Remove the pie plate from the oven, and let the treats cool for about 15 minutes before serving with either Maple Whipped Cream or vanilla ice cream.

Makes 8 servings.

Notes: Don’t waste top notch maple syrup to bake or cook with, less fancy grade will do just fine and often offers stronger maple flavors.
