Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust*
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup at room temperature
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar light or dark
  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  • Place the unbaked pie crust in the freezer for 30 minutes before adding the filling. This helps the crust to keep its shape and not sink down on the sides when baking.
  • Preheat oven to 350° F with a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Place the eggs in a large mixing bowl and lightly beat them with a whisk. Add the pure maple syrup and brown sugar and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour and whisk until well combined. Then add the melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the pecan halves into the unbaked pie crust and spread them out into an even layer. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the pecans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, until the filling is mostly set and only jiggles slightly in the center. Check on the pie after about 30 minutes of bake time to make sure the crust isn't browning too much. If it is, loosely cover the pie with a piece of foil. (I did not need to cover mine.)
  • Let pecan pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before serving. It will set up as it cools.

Notes

  • If using homemade pie crust, after rolling it out and putting it in the pie dish, freeze the unbaked crust for 30 minutes before adding the filling. If using store-bought, keep frozen until ready to use.
  • To Refrigerate Baked Pie: Pecan pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To Freeze Baked Pie: Let the baked pie cool completely, then wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Then wrap again with aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to serve the pie, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then let come to room temperature before serving.
