Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free pie crust.
If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute it with honey or corn syrup.
If you want a deeper nutty flavor, you can toast the pecans before adding them to the filling.
Make sure the pie is completely chilled before serving to get the perfect slice.
