Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Walnut halves
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trim any excess, and crimp the edges.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Stir in the walnut halves until evenly coated in the mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading the walnuts evenly throughout.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set and the crust is golden brown. The center should still have a slight jiggle but not be liquid.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to fully set before slicing.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired, and enjoy!
