I don't know about y'all but Pecan pie is one of my favorite pie's most anytime of the year. I especially like to have it around as a "comfort" food because there ain't nothing anymore comforting than a big ol' hunk of Pecan pie and a cold glass of milk.
However, my Grandmother used to kick it up a tad bit at Christmas time when she would make her famous "Christmas Maple Pecan Pie" which was a must have around my parts of the woods during the Holiday Season. This recipe of my Granny's is made even better when you add the vanilla and gooey, sticky maple syrup. She would make about 5 or 6 of these pies and I can guarantee you that by the 27th of December people was wondering where the pie went.
Ingredients
-1 9-inch purchased or homemade, unbaked
-1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
-2/3 cup sugar
-1 cup maple syrup
-3 eggs
-1/4 cup melted butter
-1 teaspoon vanilla
How to Cook It:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, beat together maple syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until slightly thickened, about 2 or 3 minutes give or take a beat or two.
Stir in the chopped pecans (Eat a few while your at it, you know you gotta) and pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife poked into the center of the filling comes out clean.
Let cool completely and serve slightly warm with some whipped cream or y'alls favorite ice cream on top.
Happy Holidays and I hope y'all enjoy the pie! Remember to save me a piece! :)

Great recipe, Bill ... and easy too! Hey, do you go ahead and place whole-half pecans on top of the filling after you fill the shell?
Merry Christmas, my friend!!
