Maple Pecan Pie

This recipe is adapted from this version by the New York Times. 

One of the things we have made year after year after year is pecan pie. When I was growing up my mom had us do the laying down of the pecans to create designs in our pies, and we always made two. I still take time to design how I lay out my pecans as you can see below.  The first picture is one layer of a total of two.  

The following is the final pie, as you can see they shift a tad, but I think it is worth it overall, then again I love the process and I do not mind taking the time to be meticulous

I still in this recipe from her, make two. I also have made some rather large adaptations in the quantity of pecan to filling ratio, much more pecans that originally called for and I have shifted from bourbon to maple syrup, but you do as you see fit. As the fall continues on and I am starting to think about Thanksgiving, I know I will be making this pie recipe again this year as I have in years prior. ​​
