For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
To make the filling, whisk together the maple syrup, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir in the chopped walnuts. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
This Maple and Walnut Pie is a perfect combination of sweet and nutty flavors. The crust is flaky and buttery, while the filling is rich and gooey. The chopped walnuts add a nice crunch to the pie. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
