Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cups pecans, broken pieces (plus whole pecans for the top -- optional but recommended)
- 1 gluten-free pastry shell, unbaked (we used Whole Foods gluten-free pie shell)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F

- Add the last three ingredients (vanilla, butter, pecans) and mix until well combined.

- Add extra whole pecans to the top of the pie in any design or random pattern you like.
- If using an egg wash, lightly brush edge or rim of pie crust with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 45 minutes, checking at 35 minutes to make sure pecans not burning. If pecan's are starting to brown too much, cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
