Recipe
Maple pecan pie is a classic dessert that combines the rich flavors of maple syrup and toasted pecans in a flaky crust. This indulgent treat is perfect for holidays or any special occasion.
Ingredients:
1 unbaked pie crust,
1 1/2 cups pecan halves,
3 large eggs,
1 cup pure maple syrup,
1/2 cup granulated sugar,
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted),
1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
1/4 teaspoon salt.
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges.
Scatter the pecan halves evenly over the crust. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the filling over the pecans. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set. Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
Notes:
Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. For a deeper nuttiness, toast the pecans before adding them to the crust.

What To Serve With It
Pairing your maple pecan pie with the right accompaniments can turn a great dessert into an unforgettable one.
I love serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—its creamy coolness balances the pie’s rich, warm flavors perfectly.
For a cozy touch, try a coffee pairing; a cup of freshly brewed coffee enhances the pie’s maple sweetness without overpowering it.
Sometimes, I’ll add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
These simple additions elevate the experience, making each bite feel like a special treat.
