Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 300 grams unsalted mixed nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews)
- optional: chocolate chips or sea salt for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If using a store-bought pie crust, ensure it is thawed and ready to use. Place the crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the sugars begin to dissolve.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly drizzle in the slightly cooled sugar mixture, whisking constantly, to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Fold in the mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly coated in the filling mixture.
Pour the nut mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This will help the filling set further.
Optional: Garnish the top with chocolate chips or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor and texture.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
