This pecan pie is made without corn syrup and still bakes up rich, sweet and perfectly gooey. Maple syrup gives the filling a warm sweetness that pairs so well with the toasted pecans. Simple ingredients and only 10 minutes of prep.
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the eggs. Then add brown sugar, maple syrup, melted and cooled butter, vanilla and salt.
Add chopped pecans to the pie crust.
Slowly pour pie filling over pecans. Top with additional chopped pecans or pecan halves.
Put pie in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 400°F, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes. Your filling should be set, but can still have a little jiggly to the center. It will fully cool as it sets.
Let pie cool for 2-4 hours, minimum to fully set. Cut and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
