Ryan Gosling’s Brown Sugar Maple Pie

Ryan Gosling’s Brown Sugar Maple Pie

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, cream, butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Best enjoyed with a dollop of whipped cream and a rewatch of The Notebook.

Ryan Gosling is a multi-talented actor and real-life pie enthusiast. Known for standout roles in The Notebook, Drive, La La Land, and Barbie, he balances intensity and comedy with ease. Off-screen, he’s equally charming, whether baking pies at home, playing music with his band, or simply being a devoted partner and father. With his quick wit, low-key personality, and genuine love for comfort food, Gosling has become one of Hollywood’s most beloved (and relatable) stars.

Paper Was Once Made from Clothing

Paper Was Once Made from Clothing

Before wood pulp became the standard, most paper was made from recycled linen and cotton. In fact, up until the mid-1800s, old clothing was the primary source of papermaking material in Europe and America. That’s why you’ll sometimes hear antique paper referred to as “rag paper.” It was strong, durable, and, believe it or not, more sustainable than many papers today.

Printing Quiz

When your printer refers to “Perfect Binding,” what they really mean is…

C. The magical connection between a coffee mug and a Monday morning

Answer: B
