Preheat oven to 350°F
Place your homemade or store-bought pie crust into a 9-inch tart pan
Remove any extra crust.
Chill the crust in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together maple flavored syrup (or syrup substitute), brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, maple extract (if using), and salt.
Mix until well combined.
Chop half of your pecans into small chunks. Add them to the filling and fold into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the crust and top it with the rest of the pecans in a pretty pattern.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the top is crispy.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing so that the pie can set.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
Serve it with maple ice cream, butter pecan ice cream, and/or whipped cream!
