For an even deeper flavor, consider browning the butter before melting it. This adds a nutty complexity that complements the pecans and maple syrup beautifully. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet or in the oven before adding them to the filling. This intensifies their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. If you're using a store-bought pie crust, blind bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom. To check for doneness, gently shake the pie. The filling should be mostly set with a slight wobble in the very center. It will firm up as it cools.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Oven and Pie Shell: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the lowest position. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth filling. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Incorporate the Pecans: Gently fold in the toasted pecan halves or pieces until they are evenly coated with the maple mixture. (2 minutes)
04
Step
40 mins
Assemble and Bake: Pour the pecan mixture into the unbaked pie shell, spreading evenly. Bake on the lower rack of the preheated oven until the pie shell is golden brown and the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. This should take approximately 35 to 40 minutes. To prevent over-browning, you may tent the pie with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. (40 minutes)

Step
2 hrs
Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will continue to set as it cools. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. A dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra maple syrup is always a welcome addition! (2 hours)

May 28, 2025The only thing I changed was adding a pinch of sea salt to the filling, which really enhanced the sweetness. My family loved it!

May 26, 2025I had some issues with the crust browning too quickly, so I tented it with foil after 25 minutes. It turned out perfectly! Thanks for the tip!
