❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
Walnut maple pie is so easy to make and it’s delicious. I know most people really enjoy the traditional pecan pie but this walnut pie is just as good. The maple syrup really compliments the walnuts. This pie would be fabulous for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Plus, it takes no time to prepare and is better the longer it sits so you can easily make it a day ahead of any gathering or event.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- brown sugar
- maple syrup (pure maple syrup)
- eggs
- butter
- vanilla extract
- salt
- walnuts, chopped or whole
- unbaked 9 inch pie crust
SWAPS
This pie is wonderful the way it is, but you could always switch out the extract to rum extract, or add bourbon to this pie too. This is made with English Walnuts and you could use Black Walnuts. It will be a different taste as black walnuts are very strong. We make our own pie crust but you can easily buy the roll out kind from Pillsbury to save time in the kitchen!
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
If you use a store-bought pie crust, this pie will come together in about 5 minutes, which is always a plus!
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Whisk sugar, syrup, eggs, butter, vanilla, and salt together in bowl. Add walnuts. Pour into crust.
Step 2
Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook approximately 30 – 40 minutes longer until filling is set in center.
Step 3
Let pie cool and sit for 3-4 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream or ice cream for a wonderful dessert.
⭐TIP
This pie will need to set up once you take it out of the oven. We like to let it sit for a few hours. If you are making this pie for an event you can easily make it a day in advance.
SERVE THIS WITH
We love to top this with ice cream or whipped cream. I think this pie is great hot or cold and we will heat up a slice in the microwave ONCE it has had time to set up.
❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We use unsalted butter in this recipe but it really won’t make much of a difference.
You need to bake it longer. All ovens vary.
STORING AND REHEATING
We store this pie in a cool place in a pie container or just covered in foil and we reheat in the microwave.
