Ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and ice water to the mixture and stir until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan and trim any excess dough.
5. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to high and cook the mixture, without stirring, until it turns a deep amber color.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the heavy cream, butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
7. Pour the caramel mixture into the tart shell and sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top.
8. Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
9. Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving.
