Maple Pecan Tart Filling

Sharing is caring!

Maple Pecan Tart Filling is the perfect addition to any dessert table. With a wonderfully flaky crust and caramel inside with a nice crunch of roasted pecans.

I can’t believe that I was able to eat Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie and, Pecan Tarts along with Thanksgiving dinner and not gain any weight. Needless to say, I am so pleased that I am able to recreate recipes that I used to eat and turn them into grain-free and refined sugar-free. Not to mention,  it feels like bragging saying that I had Thanksgiving dinner and dessert for several days afterward and didn’t gain any weight. What a delight.

Incidentally, most Pecan Pie recipes are overly sweet to me. None the less, this tart filling is sweet but not too sweet. It is, therefore, that I roasted my pecans before making this pie. At any rate, my husband doesn’t normally care for pecan pie because he feels it is too sweet. However, he really liked this tart. Nonetheless, I was really worried this pie would not turn out as most recipes have some sort of corn syrup in them. Not to mention, that I am beyond pleased that this recipe turned out and that it is super tasty. Use this filling with my Sweet Tart Crust, Graham Cracker Like Crust, Pie Crust: Grain Free, Dairy Free, Tigernut Flour Pie Crust, Almond Flour Crust.

This recipe makes filling for 4 four-inch tarts which I cut into two.
