Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Dark brown sugar
• 3 quarters cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 whole eggs Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Pecan halves
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven.

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming any excess. Flute the edges if desired. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the dark brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Once cool, whisk the eggs into the mixture one at a time until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Spread the pecan halves evenly in the chilled pie crust. Pour the filling mixture evenly over the pecans, allowing them to naturally float to the top.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake for 50–55 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to fully set.

Step 9

Slice the pie and serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
