Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out your pie dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate
Spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them for about 5 to 7 minutes
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth
Arrange the toasted pecans evenly across the bottom of the pie crust and carefully pour the liquid filling over the nuts
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 4 hours

Notes

Using a pie shield or aluminum foil halfway through baking can prevent the crust from over-browning.

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whisking for a silkier texture.
