Maple Pecan Pie Recipe
Maple Pecan Pie is one of those really old, well known, highly adaptable recipes that has a few hundred variations out there- this version is a pretty basic one that is super easy to put together and you should be done in an hour.
Normally we suggest that you use grade “B” maple syrup for it but we find that the bitterness of the nuts makes grade “A” maple syrup a better choice for most taste buds. You decide- make one of each and let us know which you like better?

Recipe Notes
In theory, you could do an egg substitute an a butter substitute to make this maple pecan pie vegan but we've never done it. If you HAVE, please tell us how it turned out?
Swapping out the butter for margarine is easy though and then you have a nice pareve and vegetarian dessert.
