Instructions
Preheat The Oven

Prepare The Crust
- The refrigerated crust should sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or as directed on the package.
- Place the crust in the pie plate and crimp or flute the edge. Using a fork poke several holes in the bottom and sides to prevent the crust from bubbling while baking.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown as directed on the package. if you notice any bubbles while the crust is baking, gently press them down with a spoon.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature while preparing the filling.
- Leave the oven temp at 400℉.
Prepare The Filling
- In medium saucepan whisk together the cup of maple syrup, maple sugar, and molasses. Cook over on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the cubed butter, 2 tablespoons of bourbon, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and set aside.
Prepare The Pecan Topping
- In small bowl add the pecan halves, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, and 1 Tbsp of bourbon. Toss until the pecans are well coated.
Assemble and Bake
- Pour the pecan filling into the cooled crust then top with the coated pecan halves.
- Place the pie on the bottom rack and lower the oven temp to 325℉.
- Bake for 60+ minutes or until the center of the pie is almost set. The center of the pie should be slightly jiggly.
Cool
- Allow to sit on wire cooling rack until the pie plate is cool to the touch. This could take 4-5 hours.
