Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and set aside.
Spread the pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
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.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring all the pecans are covered and evenly distributed.
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.
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.
Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
