Recipe courtesy of Cooks.com via PBS. I thought I made one mean pecan pie but this one did catch my eye and my son said "PLEASE make that pie". Posting here for easier access and of course to share. Prep/Cook time does not include making of the pie dough or chill times.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9-inch pie, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup maple syrup
1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon molasses
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups pecans (toasted and chopped)
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shells, chilled in pie plate for 30 minutes (see note)

Steps:

  • Make Filling: Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat sugar, syrup, cream, and molasses in saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes. Whisk butter and salt into syrup mixture until combined. Whisk in egg yolks until incorporated.
  • Bake Pie: Scatter pecans in pie shell. Carefully pour filling over. Place pie in hot oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake until filling is set and center jiggles slightly when pie is gently shaken, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool pie on rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate until set, about 3 hours and up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before serving.
