Ingredients
For the Crust: 3/4 pound (340g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups (410g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (60g) ground pecans
For the Topping:
1 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 oz (114g) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 eggs at room temperature
2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Line a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the crust: Combine the butter, confectioner’s and granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a tabletop mixer that has been fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until combined and then increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy. 2-3 minutes.
Whisk the flour and baking soda together and add it to the mixer. Beat until combined. Add the pecans and beat until they have been incorporated into the dough. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and spread it using your hands into an even layer. Go slightly up the sides of the pan so that the crust can hold most of the pecan topping. Bake the crust for 20 minutes on the center rack of the preheated oven.
Prepare the pecan topping: In a large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon and whisk them together. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the pecans and whisk together until smooth. Add the pecans and fold into the mixture using a spatula.
Pour the pecan topping over the crust as soon as it comes out of the ove. and reutrn it to the oven to bake for an additional 35-45 minutes. The pie is ready with the sides are completely set and the center is mostly set with a little bit of a jiggle to it. Do not overcook it or the topping will be dry.
Allow the pie to cool completely and then carefuly lift it out of the pan. Cut it into slices and serve.
