One of my favorite parts of this dessert is the maple syrup in the whipping cream One pastry (use our pie crust recipe that is healthy for you) For the filling: ½ C firmly packed dark brown sugar 2 T all-purpose flou pinch of salt ½ C maple syrup ½ C corn syrup 3 eggs 1 T butter, melted 3 C pecan halves, lightly toasted 1 T powered sugar 1 C heavy whipping cream ¼ C maple syrup, chilled
Preheat oven to 400 degrees To make filling, in a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, glour, salt, maple syrup, dark corn syrup, eggs, and melted butter until well combined. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 13 inch round. Transfer to an 11 inch tart pan. Place the pan on a baking sheet. Spread the pecans in the shell. Pour in the filling and bake for about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temp to 350 degrees and bake until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set, 15-20 min longer.
