Ingredients:  
Crust
1 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 t. salt
1/2 c. cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
100 g (about 1 c.) pecan pieces

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º.

Line an 8" square baking pan with foil or parchment, overhanging all sides. Grease if using foil. In a food processor or large bowl, mix flour with sugar and salt. If using a food processor, pulse in butter until mixture starts to come together or use your fingers to work in butter. Pat into pan.

Bake in centre of oven until golden and set, 18-22 minutes. After 10 minutes baking, on a separate baking sheet, place nuts in the oven while crust bakes. Bake, stirring once until nuts are toasted and fragrant, 5-7 minutes. Leave oven on.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with brown sugar, flour and salt until mixed. Whisk in syrup, cream, and vanilla. Sprinkle nuts over warm crust. Drizzle maple syrup mixture over nuts. Redistribute nuts if needed. Continue to bake until filling is set, 35-42 minutes. Cool completely on a rack. Remove to a cutting board and peel off foil or parchment. Cut into squares.

Personal Notes:
The filling bakes up to the consistency of a butter tart - but so much better.
