Easy Pecan Pie (No Corn Syrup)
This pecan pie recipe uses maple syrup instead of corn syrup to create a nutty, rich filling set in a store-bought pie crust. The combination of brown sugar, maple syrup, and melted butter with pecans delivers a sweet, caramel-like texture with crunchy pecan pieces. Baking starts at a high temperature to quickly set the crust and filling, then continues at a lower heat to finish baking, resulting in a sliceable but slightly jiggle-center pie. It's great served cooled with ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients
- 1 ” pie crust store-bought
- 1 cup pecans plus more for topping, chopped
- 3 large egg
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted and cooled, unsalted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and prep your pie crust.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the eggs. Then add brown sugar, maple syrup, melted and cooled butter, vanilla and salt.
- Add chopped pecans to the pie crust.
- Slowly pour pie filling over pecans. Top with additional chopped pecans or pecan halves.
- Put pie in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 400°F, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes. Your filling should be set, but can still have a little jiggly to the center. It will fully cool as it sets.
- Let pie cool for 2-4 hours, minimum to fully set. Cut and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes
- Store pecan pie covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- For freezing, wrap cooled pie tightly with plastic wrap and foil; freeze up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Best served fully cooled to allow the filling to set before slicing.
