Ingredients

Units Scale
  1. Easy shortbread crust recipe.
  2. 2 cups of chopped pecan nuts (210 g or87.5 oz) keep some whole for decoration.
  3. 3 large eggs
  4. 1 cup of maple syrup (or corn)
  5. 1/2 cup of brown sugar (panella)
  6. 1 Tablespoon of molasses
  7. 4 Tablespoons of unsalted melted butter
  8. 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  9. 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175 deg. C (350 deg. F) Have grid in the middle for baking.
  2. Obtain the shortbread crust recipe, and mix. Roll out and cover a 9 ” pie dish with the crust. Cut off the overflow of the pastry, and pinch with a pattern. Place this pie dish with the crust in a freezer for about 30 minutes before baking. (just helps the crust stay in place)
  3. Mix all the fillings, the syrup, sugar, melted butter, molasses, eggs(beaten), vanilla, and salt. Mix strongly with a spoon or mixer.
  4. Chop or crush the pecan nuts, and keep some whole for decoration.
  5. Take out the chilled pie crust, spread the crushed pecan nuts over the bottom of the crust, and pour in the mixed filling over the nuts. Decorate with the whole pecan nuts on top of the filling as you please. But dip them slightly under the filling. All the nuts will rise when baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Then place some foil over the pie in a way that it does not fall in the pie. (tent like). Bake for a further 35-45 minutes. (prevents the nuts and crust from burning or getting to brown.)
  7. Bake until the centre is set, but still a little wobbly.
  8. Take it out and leave to cool.
  9. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. So delicious and the easiest pie to bake for the holiday season. TRY IT!
