Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pie crust (9-inch, homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups pecans (shelled, coarsely chopped)
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • ¾ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (dark)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 5 Tbsp. butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¾ tsp. cinnamon
  • Whipped cream
  • Additional chocolate chips

Instruction

  • If you're not using a store-bought crust, follow the directions to make this homemade pie crust.
  • Place the prepared dough into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  • Add the pecans to the bottom of the pie crust in a single layer and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the pecans.
  • Whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl and then pour it evenly over the nuts and chips.
  • Bake the pie at 350 for 50-60 minutes, or until the middle no longer jiggles. If the edges of the pie crust are beginning to brown, place a pie crust shield on top after 20-30 minutes. Additionally, if the top is browning too quickly, carefully place a piece of aluminum foil over the top to prevent it from burning.
  • Place the baked pie on a wire rack to cool completely before serving. The filling will continue to set, so it is important that you do not cut into it too soon.
  • Serve pie with a dollop of whipped cream and additional chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. Enjoy!
