Prepare to wow your friends and family with this harvest-time treat that’s as comforting as it is delicious!
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out one half of your pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie pan, and place it in the pan, trimming any excess.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir well to coat the apples evenly.
Add maple syrup and chopped pecans to the apple mixture, stirring again to incorporate all ingredients.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the top of the apple filling with small pieces of butter.
Roll out the second half of your pie crust and place it over the filled pie, trimming any overhanging dough.
Seal the edges of the pie by crimping together the top and bottom crusts, and cut several slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg to give it a golden-brown finish when baked.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour to set before slicing and serving.
