Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
Crust
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is fully heated before baking the pie.
- Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, packed brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Walnuts: Stir in the chopped walnuts evenly so they are well distributed throughout the filling.
- Prepare Pie: Pour the walnut and maple syrup mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust turns a golden brown color.
- Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to let the filling firm up.
Notes
- Check the pie after 50 minutes to avoid overbaking; the filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Use finely chopped walnuts for a more even texture throughout the filling.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
