This was great, I did not have the full amount of maple syrup so I used half pancake syrup and maple syrup and used 1 tablespoon vanilla, this seemed to work fine, the crust from this is delicious and I'm certain it may be used successfully for many other recipes, thanks for sharing Mary!...Kitten:)

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
