Ingredients

• 1 premade or homemade Vegan pie crust
• 1 cup Maple syrup
• 1 cup, packed Brown sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons, melted Vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Prepare your vegan pie crust by rolling it out into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and packed brown sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the syrup and sugar, whisking to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the filling thickens.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 7

Spread 1 cup of the pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 8

Pour the warm filling mixture over the pecans. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the pecans remain submerged.

Step 9

Decoratively arrange the remaining 1 cup of pecans on top of the filling.

Step 10

Place the pie on the center rack of your oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours to fully set before slicing.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your vegan pecan pie, either on its own or with a scoop of dairy-free whipped cream or ice cream!
