Ingredients

• 1 Pie crust (unbaked, 9-inch)
• 1.5 cups Pecans (halved or chopped)
• 1 cup Pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and set aside.

Step 3

Spread the pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring all the pecans are covered and evenly distributed.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack to allow the filling to firm up, about 2-3 hours.

Step 8

Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
