Steps:
- Maple syrup: Preferred grades are C, B, and A, in that order.
- Lightly grease a ten-inch pie pan and put the pie crust in it.
- Set the oven at 400°F to preheat.
- Position a rack to the middle.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs until they are combined.
- Add the sugar and mix well.
- Stir in the maple syrup, butter, salt, vanilla, and pecans.
- I'll frequently microwave the filling at this point just until it's warm, especially because my maple syrup and eggs are almost always refrigerator-cold. Stir frequently and don't overheat or the filling will start to set. Warming will allow the filling to set in the oven before the crust gets overcooked.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust and transfer to the oven.
- Bake the pie for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set.
- Give the pie a gentle shake; the center should remain firm (note that another 'zaar member had a problem with the pie being runny - you must bake until the center remains firm when the pie is shaken even if it takes more than 35 minutes).
- Let the pie sit at room temperature to cool completely.
- To make in advance, wrap the cooled pie in plastic wrap, then in heavy-duty aluminum foil (I've never actually done this).
- Gently press the foil against the pie.
- Freeze for up to two months.
- Defrost the wrapped pie at room temperature.
- Uncover the pie and warm in a 300°F oven for ten minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right pecans. Look for pecan halves that are plump and free of blemishes. Avoid any pecans that are cracked or have dark spots.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
- Use a quality maple syrup. The quality of the maple syrup you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your pie. Look for a maple syrup that is dark and amber in color and has a rich, robust flavor.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Stir the filling just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set. The pie is done baking when the filling is set and no longer jiggles when you shake the pie plate.
Conclusion:
Maple syrup pecan pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery filling and crunchy pecan topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this maple syrup pecan pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
