Ingredients
Scale
-
- For the Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- For the Filling:
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Step 3: Stir in pecan halves and pour the filling mixture into the prepared crust.
- Step 4: Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden. Cover the crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Step 5: Let the pie cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
💡 Tip: For a deeper flavor, try using half maple syrup and half honey. This pie tastes even better the next day — store it covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days.
