Instructions
Follow these easy steps to bake a delicious walnut pie that will impress your family and friends!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Pour the walnut mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You may want to cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they get too brown before the filling is fully baked.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the filling firm up.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the flavors!
