Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie Recipe


Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie Recipe
A delicious recipe I got from my mom for the best pecan pie I've ever had. I don't know if she got it from Martha Stewart, or if Martha picked it up on the net as we did. I like to think the latter.

Ingredients
  • All-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 2 Premade pie crusts (let's face it, who wants to make pie crust?)
  • 1 Egg yolk, beaten
  • 1 C. sugar
  • 4 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter
  • 4 Large whole eggs
  • 1 C. plus 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
  • .5 C. pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp. bourbon or dark rum
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 C. (~5.5 ounces) pecan halves
  • 2 Tbsp. heavy cream (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Directions
  1. Set aside one pie shell. Onto a lightly floured surface, remove the other crust from its tin (if already in a tin). Using a paring knife, carefully cut out leaves or other fun shapes from this crust. Gently score leaves with the back of the knife to create veins. Place leaves on a baking sheet. Put unused pie+tin and leaves in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  2. Heat oven to 400�. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, butter, eggs, corn syrup, maple syrup, liquor, and vanilla. Fold in the pecan halves. Pour filling into the pie shell.
  3. Beat 1 egg yolk, and brush over the edge of the crust. Adhere the leaves to the dough in a decorative pattern. Chill the pie for 30 minutes to firm the filling, or put straight in the oven if you have steady hands. (optional: Mix 2 tablespoons heavy cream with remaining egg yolk. Brush the egg glaze over the leaves, and transfer pie to the oven.)
  4. Bake 15 minutes at 400F, then reduce heat to 350�. Bake until a knife tip comes out clean, about 60-75 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

As mentioned in the ingredients, you can also use dark rum in place of the bourbon. I've done it and it works!
