EASY BOURBON WALNUT PIE



Easy Bourbon Walnut Pie image

This pie is super-easy to make, just mix and bake, it's no-fail recipe and ALWAYS sets just perfectly when baked. You can use chopped pecans in place of walnuts. Use your own favorite pie crust or use my No-Fail Butter Pie Crust recipe#66929. This pie is still good even without the bourbon, but better with it lol!

BASIC KENTUCKY CHOCOLATE WALNUT PIE



Basic Kentucky Chocolate Walnut Pie image

Now, this is the 1st recorded, BASIC Kentucky Derby Day Pie from Southern Indiana. Just across the river from Louisville, KY, where the Kentucky Derby made this pie famous! (We can't call it by it's original name here because of trademark/copyright issues, but this is the original Derby Day pie recipe.) I must be honest with you, that ever since this "famous 1st recipe" was used, there have been several other (MODIFIED) versions of this wonderful dessert...Most of them include some sort of Kentucky Bourbon!!! In my opinion, the ones that include that KY Bourbon are the best, but I wanted to share with you the ORIGINAL pie (from the 1920's)...Just FYI...

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup english walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 ready-made pie crust

  • Mix flour and sugar. Add eggs, then butter. Add nuts, chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
  • Pour mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 - 45 minutes. Test with tooth pick; pie should be chewy but not runny -- Bake longer, if necessary.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
  • If you don't have bourbon on hand, you can substitute another type of whiskey, such as rye or Scotch.
  • To make sure the pie crust is cooked through, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving, so that the filling has time to set.
  • Garnish the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped walnuts before serving.
