Maple-Pecan Pie
Pure maple syrup, made from the boiled sap of the sugar maple tree, comes in three grades. Grade A Light or Fancy syrup, sometimes called Grade AA, is clear gold and has a wonderfully subtle flavor, but its delicate character does not hold up in cooking. Grade B syrup is produced only in Vermont and has more maple flavor than Grade A. Sometimes called "baking" or "cooking" maple syrup, it is ideal for use in this recipe. Grade C has a robust, molasses-like flavor and is used primarily in making commercial table syrups.

Someone PLEASE tell me how to get this pie to SET!
February 14, 2012
My husband is an avid pecan pie lover so I have tried this recipe now five times. Five. The first four, I tried to find the best quality maple syrup available in my area but couldn't ever find the grade B it asks for. Every time it was soupy. This fifth time, I actually ordered the GRADE B maple syrup from vermont that the recipe calls for and was so excited thinking that that would be the missing link and now it would be perfect. It ended up MORE soupy than any other time I attempted it. I even added an extra egg this time! I am being very careful to properly reduce the syrup. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The only reason I still haven't given up is that my husband says, despite the disappointing texture, it is (with the Grade B syrup used) the BEST PECAN PIE he has EVER tasted! So I carry on... hoping that one of these times I'll figure out how to make this dumb thing set properly so he doesn't have to drink it with a straw. HELP!
Pros: Quick, Easy, Appearance
Cons: won't set

DELICIOUS!!
November 28, 2011
Maple is the perfect addition to pecan pie . . I have like pecan pie in the past, but not LOVED . . .the gooey filling was just so flavorless and mushy . . . .well maple syrup adds such a great flavor to the filling that I could gobble the whole pie up myself. Whoever thought this up is genius!! Since making this with the real maple syrup (expensive but Delicious), I decided to try a regular pecan pie recipe (with corn syrup) and added maple flavoring. It came pretty close, so I would highly recommend adding 1 teaspoon of maple flavoring to a regular pecan pie recipe if you can't stomach the cost of the maple syrup AND pecans. You will never go back to regular pecan pie, I know I won't.
Pros: Quick, Easy, Adaptable, Impressive, Will Make Again, perfection
Cons: Cost, Unhealthy

Better than typical pecan pie.
November 28, 2011
I added a third egg, and a pinch more salt, and made two of these pies for Thanksgiving. Normally pecan pie is too sweet for us, but we loved this one!
Pros: Easy, Healthy, Appearance, Will Make Again

Amazing Pie!
November 20, 2011
This recipe is awesome! This was my first time baking a pecan pie ever, and the recipe was simple and easy to follow, though I did cheat and use a pre-made crust. My friends were amazed by it and have been clamoring for the reciepe. Bake it and find out for yourselfs, you will not be disappointed.
Pros: Easy, Appearance

Awesome! but add 1 egg
December 13, 2010
Everyone loved this pie! Not so sweet and a rich blend of tempting flavors. It was gone in a flash. Just reading I knew that this could get soupy since most pecan pie recipies call for at least 3-4 eggs. Soooo....add 1 egg and viola-perfection! A must for any pecan pie lover

Simple and delicious!
November 15, 2010
I was surprised at how easy it was to make this pie! I would say the secret to getting a thick filling is to make sure you properly reduce the maple syrup if you choose to use pure maple syrup as it has a higher viscosity than artificial syrups.

Excellent Holiday Dessert
November 13, 2010
This is the best pecan pie I've ever tasted! What makes it better than most is that it uses maple syrup instead of corn syrup which gives it more flavor and at the same time doesn't seem as overly sweet as typical pecan pies. This has now become a new tradition at our Thanksgiving dinner. I can't recommend this recipe enough.

Addicting - it's that good!
October 20, 2010
My husband named this Opium Pie because the flavor is so intoxicating it is difficult to refrain from eating the whole pie. You can feel the endorphins rushing to the brain as you eat this pie. It's that good!

In hopes of finding a pecan pie without Karo I found the recipe.....and it never got really hard. I had pecan soup that I turned into candied pecans. Hope it works better for you or may I suggest you find a different recipe. I will.
