Maple Pecan Pie

This is the first pecan pie that I made. And as I love maple syrup, I couldn't resist to try this Maple Pecan Pie recipe!

I used my usual pie crust recipe and added 1/2 cup of chopped pecan nuts and 1/2 egg (yes, I had 1/2 an egg left over from another recipe). I didn't add extra flour so it was quite moist. I rolled it out between two sheets of cling foil and pre-baked it for 10-12 minutes.

I also only used 1/4 cup of brown sugar instead of 1/2 cup as I assumed that the maple syrup will add enough sweetness. And as I didn't have dried cherries, I used frozen blue berries.

It turned out wonderfully, the right amount of sweetness for me! And the few blueberries give it a nice fruity moisture without changing the taste too much!
