Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust chilled
  • 1 cup toasted pecans roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup pure, high-quality
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar light or dark
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • Pie dish
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your chilled pie crust and fit it into a pie dish, then prick the bottom a few times with a fork to prevent bubbling. Set aside.
  2. Mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, and sea salt in a bowl until smoothly combined—this creates the sticky, sweet filling base.
  3. Whisk the eggs into the syrup mixture until fully integrated, then stir in the melted butter for richness and glossiness.
  4. Gently fold in the toasted pecans, ensuring even distribution so each bite gets that satisfying crunch.
  5. Pour the complete filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Bake the pie in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly around the edges and the surface is golden and slightly caramelized.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set properly.
  8. Serve slices of the pie warm or at room temperature, enjoying the contrasting textures of crispy pecans and velvety maple filling.

Notes

Ensure the pecans are toasted for maximum flavor and crunch. Using high-quality maple syrup will enhance the pie's rich taste.
