Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out your pie crust and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges, then place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied. Stir in the brown sugar and maple syrup, mixing until dissolved and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually pour the slightly cooled maple mixture into the eggs while constantly whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Add the mixed nuts to the pie crust, spreading them evenly. Carefully pour the filling mixture over the nuts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place the filled pie into the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is a rich golden brown. You can lightly cover the edges of the crust with foil if it browns too quickly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours at room temperature before serving. This allows the filling to firm up.
Slice and serve the Maple Nut Pie as-is, or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
