Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place crust in a 9 inch deep dish, or 10 inch regular, pie plate and flute edges. In a large mixing bowl, using a fork, stir butter and sugar together to mix. Stir in cornstarch. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in maple syrup. Fold in apples and pecans then pour into pie crust. Bake 50-60 minutes or until center of pie is not dry, but not runny. Twenty minutes into baking time, cover edges of crust with a pie shield or pieces of foil to prevent burning. Cool 45 minutes before serving. Top with mint sprigs for garnish. Serve topped with frozen vanilla yogurt, if desired.
