Sourdough Maple Pecan Pie (No Corn Syrup)

Maple pecan pie is a delicious nutty pie made with real maple syrup instead of unhealthy high fructose corn syrup.  The maple syrup makes such a gooey filling and gives this pie such a rich flavor, that you'll never want a pie made with highly processed corn syrup again.  This pecan pie with a flaky crust made with sourdough, which goes perfectly with the sweet maple filling.

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Danish whisk
  • 1 9-inch pie plate
  • 1 Rolling pin for sourdough pie crust 

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sourdough discard
  • ½ teaspoon teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Maple Whipped Topping

  • 4 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbl maple syrup

Instructions

  • Make one sourdough pie crust – can be made several days ahead of time and just wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to make the pie, roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface, place it in the pie dish and flute the edges as desired.

Make The Pecan Pie Filling

  • In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients except for the pecans and mix well.
  • Add pecans and stir gently.
  • Pour into prepared pie crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes or until the center of the pie is set and the edges are golden brown.
  • Cool on a wire rack and refrigerate.
  • Serve with maple whipped topping or a scoop of ice cream.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator, although I highly doubt it will last that long.

Maple Whipped Topping

  • 4 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 Tbl. maple syrup
  • Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer.  
  • Mix on high speed until cream is whipped and firm peaks form.
  • Serve immediately over pie.

Notes

  • You can make the sourdough pie crust up to several days ahead of time, and then this pie comes together quickly.
  • Use pecan halves for best results.
  • Whenever I make pie crust I make several batches at a time, and just keep the extra in my refrigerator so I can make a quick batch of pop tarts or even a savory beef pot pie.
  • There is no need to add any extra sugar to the canned apples.  You’ll only need to add sugar to the apples if they are fresh.
