This ultimate maple bourbon pecan pie combines the rich flavors of maple syrup, bourbon, and toasted pecans for a decadent fall dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup maple syrup (use pure maple syrup for the best flavor)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark, depending on your preference)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (optional, but highly recommended for depth)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups pecan halves (toasted for extra flavor, if desired)
  • 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust (9-inch)
  • Optional: 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water for an egg wash

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. Roll out your pie dough and gently press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges and crimp as desired. Chill the crust while you prepare the filling.
  3. Optional: Spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes to enhance their flavor.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  5. Spread the pecan halves evenly over the chilled pie crust.
  6. Carefully pour the prepared filling over the pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing to ensure the filling fully sets.

Notes

Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield. Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
