Today’s recipe is for a Maple Pecan Pie. Imagine a Pecan pie, only instead of the gooey part you have a filling that resembles the texture of soft caramel, but maple flavored. Now add the flavors of butter, honey, brown sugar, and pecans and if you’re mouth isn’t watering yet I don’t know what can be done with ya! This pie is so good and sure to be an instant classic.
The Ingredients You’ll Need For this Maple Pecan Pie are:
- Maple Syrup
- Honey
- Brown Sugar
- Butter
- Pecans
- Vanilla
- Graham Crust. For the crust, we’re using a 9 inch crust, not the deep dish one but just the standard size.
If you’re just dying to make your own crumb crust, I have a recipe here. But if you are happy with the store bought kind those are fine too.
- To begin, place brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, and honey in your favorite medium sized sauce pot.
- Place this over medium high heat and stir constantly until it comes to a boil.
- Once it comes to a boil, stir in the pecans and heavy cream.
- Bring this back to a low boil and cook, stirring from time to time, for approximately 10-12 minutes.
- After it is nice and thick, remove from heat and stir in vanilla before pouring into your crumb crust. Let this cool slightly before covering and refrigerating until completely chilled, which will take a few hours.
The pieces of this pie firm up enough to make really neat slices and the texture is one that dissolves in your mouth rather than sticks to your teeth.
It’s so very good!
Enjoy!

Hi Christy I have not been on to say howdee for a while but this recipe just got to me . Next shopping trip I am so getting these ingredients. As if pecan pie wasn,t enough on its own now we have one you do not have to bake, yummmm. I think this recipe might just have to be on my christmas menu also. hope you and the family are all doing great, god bless Judi.
I hope you and your family enjoy the pie Judi!! God Bless you as well!!
I will surely try this its one of the families favorites. I can not tell you how much I enjoy all my emails I receive and can’t wait to read your many encouraging words and verses. May you be richly blessed and God smiles down on you for inspiring all of us.
I can tell just by looking at this picture that this pie is so going to be on the Thanksgiving Day menu along with the chocolate bourbon pecan pie. Looks so yummy! Thanks for all the great recipes and the uplifting words. Everyday when I get on the computer I look for anything from you and Dr. David Jeremiah first thing. You two make my day.
Oh my goodness, you just made my day Karen!! Thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement.
Christy you made my day with this scrumptious recipe for pecan pie using REAL maple syrup! :)) I am going to make it with your amazing “stir in the pan pie crust”. I have had more compliments on that crust recipe then you can shake a stick at. For my gluten free friends, it is also delicious with gluten free flour. Your cheer is like the most beautiful bright sunflowers in the late summer and early days of autumn. Thank you for “you”!!
Oh. My. WORD!
I made this pie last night- it doesn’t take 15 minutes to throw together. ๐
I came SO close to having a slice for breakfast this morning but I knew I wouldn’t be able to look my students in the eye this morning when we discussed healthy breakfasts! ๐
So it’s waiting for me at home, ready to go for celebrating my husband’s birthday tonight.
And the little bit I scraped and licked from the sauce pan was out of this WORLD good!
I did add a teaspoon of salt because my family gets easily overwhelmed by all that sugary, maple-y sweetness and the salt sorta balances it all out.
We raise pecans here in southern Virginia (only one of about 5 farms in the state that we know of) and I can hardly wait for our young trees to give us their treasure this year so I can have more pecans to make more pie!
Thanks for the recipe! <3
You are just quite the diet-ruiner! LOL!
Omg – that looks SO good. It makes me think of the pecan pralines they sell at the Mexican restaurants here at the counter. But in a PIE!
๐ Where is home Kasey?
Oh my, Christy, you just brought back such memories! When our son was in basic training at Ft. McClellan, we were going up for family visitation weekend. He made a special request for our family’s homemade pecan pie (cut out of a Dear Abby column many years ago!). Well, when son and his buddy met us in the px parking lot, they wouldn’t even wait for me to get out plates and napkins. Just held the pie plate between them and devoured it with plastic forks! ๐ Nowadays, son and family live in GA and love the pralines from Savannah Candy Company. I’m thinking this recipe will be a wonderful marriage of those two favorite tastes. Can’t wait to try it and surprise him! Thank you again for the yummy recipes, and especially for your cheerful and encouraging perspective on life. Blessings to you and your family.
Oh my goodness, what a precious memory!! I hope you get the chance to make the pie soon, I think your family would really love it!! Blessings to you and yours as well!!
Christy,
I have to use chopped pecans, instead of whole. Do you think that there needs to be any adjustment in the Cups at all for chopped instead of whole? I love your site, and stories ๐ Keep ’em coming! and Howdy from the Lone Star State! ๐
I think it will turn out perfect, only easier to cut ๐ No adjustments needed. Thanks so much!!
P.S. I just love your name! ๐
Just finished making this pie and OH MY !!! Tasted the bit left in the sauce pan and I know already its a winner. I love pecans but never liked the traditional pecan pies of the south because I didn’t like that jelly like stuff under the pecans. My husband is taking to his Thanksgiving Lodge meeting and hope every one enjoys. Or maybe I’m wishing they don’t like it so he can bring some home.
Thanks for a pie I don’t have to bake.
He is going to be the hit of the party!!! Hopefully you will get to make one that YOU can try soon!
