To make these Maple and Walnut Pie Bars, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the filling:

- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

For the topping:

- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped walnuts. Pour the filling over the baked crust and return to the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
For the topping, mix together the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the filling and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing into bars. These Maple and Walnut Pie Bars are the perfect combination of sweet and nutty, with a buttery crust and a crunchy topping. They are sure to be a hit at any gathering or event.
