Instructions

Prepare the crust
In a bowl, mix the flour and butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until a dough forms. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Use a fork to incorporate the butter into the flour to keep the mixture cool.
Roll out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and fit into a pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork.
Use parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
Prepare the filling
In a large bowl, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and beaten eggs until smooth.
Add the pecans
Stir in the pecans into the filling and pour everything into the prepared crust.
Bake the pie
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the pie for 25 to 30 minutes or until the center is set and slightly golden.
Watch the baking to prevent the edges from burning.
