Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven.
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.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the dark brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth and combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
Once cool, whisk the eggs into the mixture one at a time until fully incorporated.
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.
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.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to fully set.
Slice the pie and serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
