Follow instructions on your pie crust for pre baking
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
In a mixing bowl, mix together the maple syrup, heavy cream, flour, vanilla, salt, melted butter, eggs, and brown sugar
After following instructions for your pie crust prior to baking, place the pecan halves inside the pie crust
Pour the maple pecan filling over the top of the pecans
Bake the pecan pie at 350 degrees for 45 - 55 minutes, until the center is hardly jiggly
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, or for two hours. After two hours, place the pie in the fridge to store. While you can serve the pie at room temperature, I have found it cuts best after being refrigerated. This also makes it a great make ahead pie.
Store leftover pie covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the fridge for 3 - 4 days
