Steps:
- Make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 10 minutes; let cool.
- Pulse pecans and 1 Tbsp. flour in a food processor until finely ground. Add granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and remaining 1 cup plus 7 Tbsp. flour and pulse to combine. With the machine running, add butter, vinegar, and 2 Tbsp. cold water in a slow, steady stream and mix just until incorporated.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl and press with your hands until a dough forms. Form into a 6" disc, then transfer to pie plate and press into bottom and up sides with a flat-bottomed measuring cup. Crimp edge with a floured fork, if desired, and freeze while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling and assemble the pie:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Cook maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 8-10 minutes.
- Whisk eggs, brown sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in cream, bourbon, cinnamon, and reduced maple syrup until combined.
- Heat butter over medium in a small saucepan, swirling pan occasionally, until nutty, dark brown, and most of the foam has subsided, about 5 minutes. Immediately whisk into maple syrup mixture.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is lightly golden, 10-15 minutes. Remove weights, then cover edge with a pie shield or foil to prevent overbrowning. Continue baking until center is golden brown, 5-10 minutes more.
- Pour filling into crust and bake pie until edge is set but center is still very jiggly, 40-45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool at least 2 hours (the center will set as pie cools).
- Serve the pie:
- Combine cream and yogurt in a large bowl. Scrape in vanilla seeds and reserve pod for another use, or add vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat until soft peaks form. Mound whipped cream in center of pie.
SOUTHERN BOURBON PECAN PIE
When I first made the original recipe for this bourbon-splashed pie, I added some vanilla extract and eliminated the flour. We loved the result. -Paul Falduto, Efland, North Carolina

Tips:
- For the Best Flavor: Use high-quality maple syrup and bourbon. Grade B maple syrup has a more robust flavor that will shine through in the pie. And, use a bourbon that you enjoy sipping on its own.
- Make Sure Your Pie Crust is Well-Chilled: This will help to prevent it from shrinking and becoming tough.
- Don't Overcook the Pie: The center of the pie should still be slightly jiggly when you take it out of the oven.
- Let the Pie Cool Completely Before Serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Pie with Whipped Cream or Ice Cream: This will add a touch of richness and sweetness.
Conclusion:
This deep-dish maple bourbon cream pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich and creamy filling is perfectly balanced by the sweet and smoky flavors of the maple syrup and bourbon. The pie is also easy to make, so it's a great option for busy home cooks.
