Ingredients

  • 1 Pie Crust (from above) (or premade if lazy I guess)
  • 25 g Softened Butter
  • 175 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 200 ml Maply Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 150 g Pecan halves (I actually used chopped)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 355F.
  • Assuming home made dough, roll out the dough and line a tart pan. I used a nine inch with removable bottom. The removable bottom ended up being a missed blessing which I'll get to later.
  • Prick dough all around with a fork. Place parchment on top of the dough and fill with baking beads. Blind Bake for 15 minutes. Remove beans and parchment and bake for 5 more.
  • In a bowl beat the butter and sugar together. Then add eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla and beat some more.
  • Fill the pie crust with pecans. If you used halves you can try to arrange them arfully, I used chopped pecans so I just poured them in and distrbuted them as an even layer.
  • Pour in the filling. This is where the pan was an issue. Remember how you prick a bunch of holes in the dough..? I ended up with a huge mess after filling it. Next time I'd either line the pan with parchment, or be careful about not putting holes in the dough by the seam/joint between the ring and the pan bottom.
  • Finally, bake for 30-35 minutes, until the filling has completely set. I needed the extra 5.
