This easy maple pecan pie recipe is made without corn syrup! Instead, this decadently delicious pie is made using real pure maple syrup. A holiday must have!
Pecan pie is a must have for the holidays.
But maybe you are wondering how to make a delicious pecan pie without corn syrup?
This recipe is for you. Just like our pecan pie bars, this recipe uses pure maple syrup to sweeten them and no corn syrup.
Can you have too much pecan pie during the holidays? I don’t think so. That is why I also created pecan pie brownies, pecan pie balls, and pecan cream pie too.
It just isn’t Thanksgiving or Christmas without a piece of ooey gooey pecan pie.
Ingredients to make pecan pie without corn syrup
- pure maple syrup
- heavy cream
- all purpose flour
- vanilla extract
- salt
- butter
- eggs
- brown sugar
- pecan halves
- pie crust
How to make pecan pie without corn syrup
Step 1: make the filling for the pecan pie.
In a bowl, mix together the pure maple syrup, heavy cream, flour, vanilla extract, salt, melted butter, eggs, and brown sugar.
Note: this is real maple syrup, not breakfast syrup.
Any variety of pure maple syrup will do, dark or light amber, grade a or grade b maple syrup.
Step 2: Line a store bought pie crust with the pecan halves.
Step 3: Pour the maple pecan filling evenly over the pecans into the pie crust.
Step 4: Bake the pecan pie at 350 degrees for 45 – 55 minutes, until the pie is hardly jiggly in the middle.
Step 5: cool to room temperature, then store in the fridge.
While you can serve this pie at room temperature, I have found it cuts best and has the best texture when it has been refrigerated.
Serve your pecan pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
This pie is even better made without corn syrup. It is perfectly sweet, and has that ooey gooey filling that is simply perfect.
Maple pecan pie is a must have for your holiday celebrations!
Can I make my own pie crust?
Yes, you can. If you have a favorite pie crust recipe, simply prepare it as you would another pie and follow the steps the same way.
Is it ok to leave pecan pie out overnight?
Pecan pie should only be kept at room temperature up to two hours. Then it needs to be placed in the fridge. Due to the eggs, this pie is not meant to sit out.
How long does pecan pie last?
Pecan pie lasts around 3 – 4 days in the refrigerator, if it isn’t eaten first!
To store the pie, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. I personally like using press and seal to store my leftover pies.
