Amazing Maple Pecan Pie, using maple syrup and omitting the dreadful corn syrup. Make this great maple pecan pie from scratch in no time.
Ingredients
For the pie crust:
  • 100gr Cold Butter - Grated or cut into small pieces for easy mixing
  • ¾ Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 300gr All Purpose Flour
  • 1-2 Tbsp Cold Water (Optional)
For the Maple Pecan Filling:
  • ½ Cup + 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • ½ Cup Brown Sugar
  • 50gr Butter
  • 1 Egg
  • 150gr Pecans - Broken in half or quarters
  • 1 Tbsp Milk
Instructions
  1. Mix all the crust ingredients in a stand mixer on medium speed. If the dough comes out too crumbly, slowly ad in 1 Tbsp cold water and add more if required until you get a soft non sticky ball of dough.
  2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge while you make the filling.
  3. Over medium-low heat, heat the maple, sugar and butter until it melts and you get a nice even brown liquid.
  4. Beat the egg with the milk and add slowly to the maple mix while stirring.
  5. Add in the pecans and mix until they are covered. Set aside.
  6. Remove the dough from the fridge and preheat oven to 375F/190C.
  7. Grease the pie pan with butter and dust with flour.
  8. Flatten the dough using a rolling pin and place on the pie pan, cutting off the extra dough on the edges to fit into the pan.
  9. Poke the dough with fork on the bottom and cover with foil.
  10. On the foil, place enough dry beans (or other legumes) to create enough weight to hold the dough down from puffing in the oven.
  11. Bake for about 15 minutes until the dough is starting to become light brown (it doesn't need to be fully baked).
  12. Remove from oven and remove foil and legumes. Instead, pour in the filling.
  13. Bake additional 15-20 minutes until the filling solidifies a bit.
  14. Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving.
