Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Take a pre-made pie shell and make holes with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Pre-bake the pie shell according to package directions.

In a saucepan over medium low heat, combine 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.

Add 1/2 cup of light corn syrup and mix well.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of whole milk, 1/4 teaspoon of maple extract, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Whisk the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it reaches a gentle simmer.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before whisking in 3 eggs until well incorporated.

Spread 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans evenly in the pre-baked pie shell.

Pour the filling over the pecans, filling to just below the top of the shell.

Optionally, arrange 1 cup of pecan halves on top for presentation.

Bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the middle is set and no longer jiggly.

Allow the pie to cool for 2 hours before slicing.
