Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Eggs (large)
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, occasionally stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
Whisk in the vanilla extract and salt once the mixture has cooled slightly. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated.
Place the pecan halves into the prepared pie crust. Pour the filling mixture evenly over the pecans, ensuring they are fully coated and distributed evenly.
Carefully transfer the pie to the oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set fully for clean slices.
Once cooled, slice and serve the pie as is, or pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
