Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
To make the crust, combine the all-purpose flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Gently transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the corners and trimming any excess from the edges.
Scatter the chopped mixed nuts evenly over the prepared pie crust.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the nuts in the pie crust, ensuring the nuts are evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Serve slices of this rich and decadent nut pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
