Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Pecan halves
• 0.75 cups Maple syrup
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. If using a pre-made crust, simply unroll and place it in the dish. Crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly add the cooled maple syrup mixture to the eggs, whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.

Step 5

Spread the pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Pour the maple syrup and egg mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are well coated and evenly distributed.

Step 7

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, but still jiggles slightly in the center when shaken.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This helps the filling to fully set.

Step 9

Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
