Title: Maple Syrup Pecan Pie
Categories: Desserts, Pies
Yield: 8 servings


1 flaky pasty crust (single)
3 eggs
1 c light brown sugar -- packed
1 c maple syrup -- pure
4 TB butter, unsalted -- melted
1/4 ts salt
1 ts vanilla extract
2 c pecans -- coarsely chopped

Lightly grease a ten-inch pie pan and put the pie
crust in.

Set the oven at 400 degrees to pre-heat. Position a
rack to the middle.

In a bowl, beat the eggs until they are combined. Add
the sugar and mix well. Stir in the maple syrup,
butter, salt, vanilla, and pecans. Pour the filling
into the pie crust and tranfer to the oven.

Bake the pie for 10 minutes. Reduce the temparature
to 350 and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or
until the filling is set. Give the pie a gentle
shake; the center should remain firm. Let the pie sit
at room temperature to cool completely.

To make in advance, wrap the cooled pie in plastic
wrap, then in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Gently press
the foil against the pie. Freeze for up to two
months. Defrost the wrapped pie at room temperature.
Uncover the pie and warm in a 300-degree oven for ten
minutes before serving.
