    Title: Best Pecan Pie
    Categories: Pastry, Nuts, Pies, Desserts
    Yield: 6 servings

    Dough for single-crust pie
    1/2 c Butter
    2 1/2 c Coarse chopped pecans
    3/4 c Packed brown sugar
    3/4 c Maple syrup
    1/2 ts Salt
    3 lg Eggs; beaten
    2 tb Whiskey or bourbon; opt
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    Whipped cream; opt
    Ground cinnamon; opt

    Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick
    circle; transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2
    in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while
    preparing filling.

    In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, melt butter over
    medium heat. Add pecans; cook, stirring constantly,
    until very fragrant and pecans start to brown, 4-5
    minutes. Remove pecans with a slotted spoon, reserving
    butter in pan. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup and
    salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2
    minutes. Remove from the heat. In a bowl, whisk a small
    amount of the hot mixture into eggs; return all to the
    pan, whisking constantly. Stir whiskey, if desired, and
    vanilla into brown sugar mixture; stir in pecans. Pour
    into crust.

    Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out
    clean, 55-60 minutes. Cover edge with foil during the
    last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary.
    Cool on a wire rack. If desired, top with whipped cream
    and cinnamon. Refrigerate leftovers.
