This maple pecan pie features a homemade buttery crust and a rich filling made with pure maple syrup instead of corn syrup. The key to success is properly toasting the pecans to enhance their flavor and not overbaking the pie so it maintains its perfect texture.
Serve this pie at room temperature with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For the best flavor, use high-quality pure maple syrup - the darker the grade, the more robust the maple flavor will be in your finished pie.
