Maple Syrup Pie featuring Aldi Specially Selected Products

Following on from my previous Aldi post, here is the Dessert I created using the Aldi "Specially Selected" range. "Specially Selected" products are chosen for their outstanding quality, ingredients, provenance and recipe. There are many fantastic products in the range. 

When I came across Pure Canadian Maple Syrup and Ready Rolled All Butter Sweet Shortcrust Pastry whilst browsing the range, I instantly knew that a Maple Syrup Pie was in order! I also found some delicious Cornish Clotted Cream to serve with the Maple Syrup Pie.

A wonderful Winter Pudding, this would also make the perfect dessert for Christmas. You could serve the Maple Syrup Pie with custard also. Personally, I prefer Maple Syrup Pie warm, with clotted cream but it can also be eaten cold. This dish is also completely vegetarian.

Give it a try and please do let me know what you think!!
