INSTRUCTIONS:
list of 7 items
1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350¡ãF (175¡ãC).
2. Prepare the crust: Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges. Place the pie crust in the fridge
to chill while preparing the filling.
3. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and eggs until well combined. Add the flour, vanilla,
cinnamon, and salt, and whisk until smooth.
4. Add the pecans: Stir in the pecan halves, making sure they are well coated in the filling mixture.
5. Assemble the pie: Pour the pecan filling into the chilled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake the pie: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and
the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil during baking.
7. Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set. Serve at room temperature with
a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
