Old Fashioned Pecan Pie is a sweet and delicious dessert that is the perfect addition to any holiday table. It's so easy to throw together and make ahead for a classic treat everyone raves about!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and set aside.
Mix corn syrup, maple syrup, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract and flour until well combined.
Whisk in cooled melted butter until well combined.
Place pecans in an even layer in the raw pie crust.
Pour filling over pecans so that each pecan is covered.
Place pie pan onto lined sheet pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Add the pie shield around the crust on the edges and resume baking for another 30-40 minutes until the edges are set and the middle is only ever-so-slightly jiggly.
Remove from oven and remove the pie crust shield. Cool completely for at least 3 hours to oven night, placing in the fridge once cool. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.

Notes
Melt the butter before starting- you want it to have a chance to cool before adding it to the filling.
Cover the pecans fully in the filling- this prevents them from burning.
Line a sheet pan and place it under the pie when baking- This way, if you have any leakage, it doesn't get all over your oven. I do this for every pie.
Use a pie crust shield after 30 minutes- to keep the crust from burning. You can also use foil (just be gentle so you don't break the crust).
Make it the night before- It'll give the pie plenty of time to set up and allows you to have less to do the day you're planning to serve it.
Pull it from the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving- to bring it to room temp.
Storage and Leftovers- This will last up to 4 days covered in the fridge.
