A rich and flavorful Maple Walnut Pie featuring a sweet maple syrup filling combined with crunchy walnuts, all nestled in a buttery, flaky pie crust. Perfect for autumn gatherings or any occasion that calls for a comforting, nutty dessert.

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is fully heated before baking the pie.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Walnuts: Stir in the chopped walnuts evenly so they are well distributed throughout the filling.
  4. Prepare Pie: Pour the walnut and maple syrup mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
