More About This Recipe

  • When you want pecan pie, this is the recipe to try. Swapping maple syrup in for corn syrup gives the filling a super rich and sweet flavor, and a 1/2 teaspoon of maple flavor added to the scratch-made crust elevates the flavor even more. But what really sets this maple pecan pie apart is the chocolate drizzle at the end. One word of warning: this pie doesn’t last long, so go ahead and indulge in a second piece! By the way, Betty’s got all the tips you need to make the perfect scratch pie crust, even on your first try.
