blended; set aside.
Combine remaining 3/4 cup flour, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl;
cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse

cooking spray, and remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Sprinkle granola into
pastry shell, using fingers to break up large pieces.
Combine maple syrup and next 4 ingredients; stir well with a wire whisk,
and pour into pastry shell. Sprinkle pecans over maple syrup mixture. Place
tart pan on a baking sheet; bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat
