Ingredients

1 pie crust 9-inch, homemade or store-bought
2 cups pecans shelled, coarsely chopped
¾ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
¾ cup pure maple syrup
¾ cup brown sugar dark
3 large eggs
5 Tbsp. butter melted and cooled
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. salt
¾ tsp. cinnamon

Serving:

Whipped cream
Additional chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the prepared dough into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively and refrigerate while preparing the filling. (If you're not using a store-bought crust, follow the directions to make this homemade pie crust.)
1 pie crust
Fill the Pie: Add the pecans to the bottom of the pie crust in a single layer and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the pecans. Whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl and then pour it evenly over the nuts and chips.
2 cups pecans, ¾ cup chocolate chips, ¾ cup pure maple syrup, ¾ cup brown sugar, 3 large eggs, 5 Tbsp. butter, 1 tsp. vanilla, ¼ tsp. salt, ¾ tsp. cinnamon
Bake the pie at 350 for 50-60 minutes, or until the middle no longer jiggles. If the edges of the pie crust are beginning to brown, place a pie crust shield on top after 20-30 minutes. Additionally, if the top is browning too quickly, carefully place a piece of aluminum foil over the top to prevent it from burning.
Let Pie Cool: Place the baked pie on a wire rack to cool completely before serving. The filling will continue to set, so it is important that you do not cut into it too soon.
Serve chocolate chip pecan pie with a dollop of whipped cream and additional chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. Enjoy!

Meal Prep and Storage

To Prep-Ahead: Make the pie dough and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days in advance. Take it out 30 minutes before rolling so that it's easier to work with.
To Store: The pie will keep for up to 2 hours at room temperature or up to 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
To Freeze: Wrap the pie or individual slices in wax paper and seal in a freezer-safe container for up to 3-4 months.
To Reheat: Defrost in the refrigerator, then bake in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes. You can also pop refrigerated slices in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.
