Description
A rich, nutty, and perfectly sweet Maple Pecan Pie that everyone begs for during the holidays.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup (57g) vegetable shortening, cold and cubed
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup (60-120ml) ice water
- 1 cup (320g) maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) salt
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups (150g) pecan halves
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter and shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate, trim the edges, and crimp decoratively.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Add the eggs and whisk until well combined.
- Stir in the pecan halves.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential for a flaky crust.
- Use fresh pecans for the best flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
