The Recipe: Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie
This pie is rich, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need:
For the Filling:
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup Mythology’s Best Friend’s Bourbon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups pecans (whole or chopped)
For the Pie Crust:
A homemade or store-bought crust works perfectly.
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust: Roll out your pie dough and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Assemble the Pie: Spread the pecans evenly in the pie crust. Pour the filling over the pecans, ensuring they are well-coated.
Bake: Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Cover the edges of the crust with foil halfway through baking if they begin to brown too quickly.
Cool: Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set.
Why Bourbon?
Bourbon adds a complex depth of flavor to the filling, enhancing the nutty richness of the pecans and the buttery sweetness of the maple syrup. With Mythology’s Best Friend’s Bourbon, you’ll get a balanced blend of caramel and cinnamon that elevates each bite.
