Wow incredible pie i made a few tweeks to it because of the reviews I used Greek Honey and vanilla yogurt and added addtl 1 tbsp honey and a splash of vanilla to the pie i also used extra maple on top amazing!!!!! Not a real fan of pecan and they were a little on the tough side the first day but after the second day in the fridge pecans soften and they were better...My daughter is a really picky eater and she hates vegetables i always have to hide veggies in her food and this was a winner she loved it, she of course remove pecans from the top she enjoyed it more than the chocolate cake that we had on thanksgiving...i love this receipe and its great for any beginner really easy receipe my pie did reach temp at 1.5 hours so make sure to check temp before taking it out of the oven...Ty Mr. Brown for your good eats, this was the best dish at the thanksgiving table!!!
