Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the whole wheat pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set it aside.
Roughly chop the mixed nuts, leaving some whole for texture, and scatter them evenly in the pie crust.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the erythritol sweetener and stir until fully combined and dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly, then slowly whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the prepared filling over the nuts in the pie crust, making sure all nuts are covered and evenly distributed.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 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.
