Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie recipe

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time55 minutes
Total Time1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 3 –4 tablespoons ice water
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon or more, if feeling fancy
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves
  • Optional Topping:
  • Whipped cream
  • Extra toasted pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges for that classic pie look.
  • Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and bourbon until smooth.
  • Add Pecans: Stir in pecans gently, ensuring each nut gets a little love from the sweet mixture.
  • Assemble Pie: Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Spread evenly, but don’t worry if it’s not perfect—it’ll still look gorgeous.
  • Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. Don’t freak out—the pie firms as it cools.
  • Cool Completely: Let pie cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours. For extra points, chill in the fridge before slicing.
  • Serve: Top with whipped cream or extra toasted pecans if desired. Slice generously and prepare for compliments.
