Walnut Pie
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust homemade (or store-bought)
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 160 g brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 180 ml light corn syrup
- 57 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400° and place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
-
Place the rolled pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and either flute the edges or make a decorative edge. Place in the fridge until you are ready to bake the pie.
-
In a large bowl beat together the eggs, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, and corn syrup. Stir in the walnuts and add the filling to the chilled pie crust.
-
Bake for 15 minutes at 400° and then lower the heat to 350° and bake for another 35-40 minutes, until the centre of the pie is slightly jiggly but set. If the top of the pie or the crust seems to be getting too dark too fast, place a sheet of foil gently over the whole pie to keep it from burning while the pie finishes baking.
-
Cool the pie to room temperature and serve.
Notes
Tips for the Perfect Walnut Pie
Although this is one of the most foolproof pies you can make, here are a few extra tips and tricks to make your walnut pie shine! It’s sure to become one of your favorite holiday dessert recipes.
For the Perfect Golden Crust: If you notice your crust is getting too dark while baking, tent it with foil while it cooks.
Toast Walnuts: If you really want to enhance your walnuts, try toasting them before adding to your filling! Cook them over medium heat on the stove for a few minutes. This makes them perfectly browned and aromatic.
Keep it Sweet: If you’re like me and love a sweet pie, try adding 120 ml of honey or maple syrup to your walnut filling mixture!
Serve With
This pie is divine on its own, but also tastes amazing à la mode or with whipped cream on top. If you want a little extra indulgence, try drizzling fudge or caramel sauce on top!
Storing Leftover Walnut Pie
At Room Temperature: Cover your pie lightly with plastic wrap. It will last for 3-4 days.
Reheating
For that just-baked effect, reheat your pie by popping it in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
