Beat:
3 large eggs or 2 jumbo eggs
Add to eggs and mix:
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup light syrup (karo)
3 tablespoons melted butter
a dash of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons maple syrup
Add to mixture:
1 cup pecans (shelled)
Pour filling into:
1 pie crust (deep)
Bake at 400º for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 300º and bake for 40-50 minutes, until firm.
Tips
If you want enough ingredients to fit into a regular store-bought pie crust, pack down the sugar to measure a little less than 1 full cup and reduce white karo syrup a little.
To avoid burnt crust edges, brush beaten egg white on crust edges.
