Ingredients
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
2 cups pecan halves, toasted
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup pure maple syrup (Grade A Dark preferred)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, pure maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Step 3: Spread the toasted pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust.
Step 4: Slowly pour the maple mixture over the pecans. The pecans will naturally rise to the top to create a beautiful decorative layer.
Step 5: Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still have a slight jiggle.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack. Allow the pie to cool completely (at least 4 hours) before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
Notes
Always use pure maple syrup for the best results. If the crust browns too quickly, use a pie shield.
