Best Maple Pecan Pie Recipe always tastes like the holidays to me. Sweet maple syrup, crunchy pecans and buttery custard make this maple pecan pie a most delicious fall treat! Finish it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, and you have the perfect holiday dessert.
Maple Pecan pie is one of the easiest pies to make! It is very similar to pumpkin pie or zucchini pie. Just prepare your crust, blend the filling ingredients, pour the filling into the pan, then bake! This pie is very popular anywhere I serve it. The maple flavor pairs so well with the pecans. I like to use pecan halves, because they are pretty, but you can use chopped pecans if you prefer.

How do I make maple pecan pie?
First, you make or buy a 9 inch pie crust and place it in a pie plate. (You can find my amish pastry crust recipe .) Trim the edges and crimp in whatever design you like. Here is a tutorial that shows you how I do it:
Next, Preheat the oven to 350*. While the oven is heating, add the filling ingredients (except the nuts!) to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds.
Place the pecan halves in the pie crust, then pour the filling over the pecans.
Bake at 350* for 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the pie puffs up. It will fall down flat as it cools, so don't worry!
