Bourbon Maple Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is a holiday must have, and this Bourbon Maple Pecan Pie may be my favorite version yet. A touch of warmth from the bourbon perfectly complements the earthy sweetness of the maple syrup. Making a smoked pecan pie, takes this recipe to the next level.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust Store bought or homemade, deep dish
- 3 egg beaten
- 1 ¾ cups pecan halves
- 1 cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup butter melted, salted
- ½ cup cane sugar syrup Like Lyle's or Steen's
- ¼ cup dark corn syrup
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 Tab bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pecan halves optional, additional for decorating
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the eggs and pecans.
- In a separate bowl beat the eggs.
- Fold the eggs into the batter and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the pecans. You can leave the pecans as halves or coarsely chop them. We like to break about ½ a cup into smaller pieces, but leave the remaining halves intact.
- Preheat oven or smoker to 375 degrees. If cooking on a grill or smoker, set up for indirect heat.
- With a fork poke some holes into the bottom of the pie crust, then add in the filling.
- Bake the pecan pie for 40-50 minutes, until the center of the pie is just set (it will continue to set as it cools). Rotate the pie halfway through the cook time.
- Allow to cool before eating.
