BLACK WALNUT PIE RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Black Walnut Pie Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by cecelia26_

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9") pie crust
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 T. lemon juice
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups black walnuts
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degree. Check the pie crust to be sure the edges are at least 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch above the rim of the pan to prevent the pie filling from bubbling over the edge. Gently combine all ingredients, in order listed. Stir enough to begin dissolving the sugar, but not enough to incorporate air into the filling. Do not beat, or the pie will have air bubbles on the top, instead of black walnuts, spoiling the glossy look of the glazed nuts. Pour into the unbaked pie crust. Bake on a cookie sheet one hour, or until the center of the pie is no longer loose and the black walnuts are browned. Serve either hot or cold, but for the best appearance, allow the pie to reach room temperature before cutting. Whipped cream or ice cream is a wonderful addition. For a gourmet treat, serve this pie hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh black walnuts. Fresh walnuts have a brighter, more intense flavor than walnuts that have been stored for a long time. If you can't find fresh walnuts, you can use frozen or dried walnuts. Just be sure to thaw or rehydrate them before using.
  • Toast the walnuts before using. Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. The pie crust is an important part of any pie, so it's important to use a good quality crust. You can make your own pie crust or you can use a store-bought crust. If you're using a store-bought crust, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. If you overfill the pie crust, the filling may spill over and make a mess. To prevent this, fill the pie crust no more than two-thirds full.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature. Baking the pie at a high temperature will help to set the filling and prevent it from becoming runny. Bake the pie at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Black walnut pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, nutty flavor and creamy filling, black walnut pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new dessert to try, be sure to give black walnut pie a try.
