Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse flour and salt to combine. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter pieces, about 10-12 pulses.
  2. With the processor running, drizzle in ice water until the dough just comes together, about 10-15 seconds. Do not overprocess.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, trim and crimp edges. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
  5. Toast pecans: Spread pecans on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, until fragrant. Cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until blended. Add maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt; whisk until smooth.
  7. Spread toasted pecans evenly in the prepared crust. Pour the maple mixture over the pecans.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center (internal temperature should reach 200°F / 93°C).
  9. Transfer pie to a wire rack and cool completely, at least 2 hours, before slicing. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Store pie covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat slices in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10-15 minutes, or enjoy cold.
