"Originally from the King Aurhur's website, my cousin made this pie for Thanksgiving. It was so good he had to share the recipe with me. The pie brings a New England twist to the Southern Pecan Pie, using maple sugar instead of corn syrup, to sweeten the pie, giving it a distinctive New England flavor that you are sure to enjoy!"
