Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust 9-inch, homemade or store-bought
  • 3 cups pecans raw, coarsely chopped
  • ¾ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar dark
  • 3 large eggs
  • 5 Tbsp. butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

Serving:

  • Whipped Cream
  • Chocolate shavings/mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. If you're not using a store-bought crust, follow the directions to make this homemade pie crust.
  2. Place the prepared dough into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  3. Add the pecans to the bottom of the pie crust in a single layer.
  4. Whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl and then pour it evenly over the nuts. Add a few additional pecans on top for decoration.
  5. Bake the pie at 350 for 50-60 minutes, or until the middle no longer jiggles. If the edges of the pie crust are beginning to brown, place a pie crust shield on top after 20-30 minutes. Additionally, if the top is browning too quickly, carefully place a piece of aluminum foil over the top to prevent it from burning.
  6. Place the baked pie on a wire rack to cool completely before serving. The filling will continue to set, so it is important that you do not cut into it too soon.
  7. Serve pie with a dollop of whipped cream and additional cinnamon. Enjoy!

  • To Freeze: Wrap the pie tightly or secure individual slices in wax paper and seal in a freezer-safe container for up to 3-4 months.
