1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup brown corn syrup
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

3/4 of a cup of brown sugar 1/4 of a cup of maple syrup three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt one tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
one-quarter of a cup of unsalted melted butter make sure that when you add the butter and it has already started to cool down you don't want burning smoking butter now whisk until evenly incorporated
to make life easier we are using a ready-to-bake pie crust however if you like making the pie crust from scratch, by all means, do so with cooking spray lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish place the pie crust into the dish
with your fingers pinch around the entire edge to give it a wavy look to the pie crust
add the nuts to the mixture go ahead and mix and get them evenly
coated transfer the mixture over into the prepared pie dish
you could bake it as is however we are going to make it extra pretty of course
and to do so we are going to place pecans all around the top in a circle do a ring all around the side and once that's done do another ring inside and sew on
now bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the pie is set if your pie crust begins to brown too quickly place a loose piece of aluminum foil on top to slow down the browning process.
Let it cool off at room temperature for at least one hour before you cut into it
Enjoy, buen provecho!
