WALNUT PIE WITH MOLASSES AND ORANGE



Walnut Pie With Molasses and Orange image

This pie is fudgy, nutty, salty-sweet and spiked with citrus. It's a meeting of sorts, between arguably Britain and America's greatest desserts: the treacle tart and pecan pie. Cut corners by grating the crust instead of rolling it out, but don't skip making your own bread crumbs and roasted walnuts; the texture and flavor rely on the freshness of both. Once you've prebaked the crust to biscuit brown, err on the side of undercooking the molasses-custard filling: It'll firm up when cooled and stay gooey for days.

Time 2h

Yield One 9-inch pie (about 10 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Shortcut Pie Crust (see recipe)
4 1/2 ounces/130 grams whole raw, unsalted walnuts (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon/255 milliliters light corn syrup
Zest of 1/2 navel orange (about 1 teaspoon) and 1/4 cup juice (from the whole orange)
1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ounces/85 grams crustless white bread (crusts removed or reserved for another use), torn into small pieces, then pulsed in a food processor until very fine (about 2 lightly packed cups)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, plus more for serving
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • Prepare the Shortcut Pie Crust through Step 3.
  • Once the dough has chilled, working over a 9-inch pie dish, prepare the crust through Step 4, then chill, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. (This can be done ahead.)
  • When you're ready to bake the pie, heat the oven to 350 degrees and arrange two racks near the center of the oven. Place the chilled pie crust on a sheet pan, and the walnuts on a separate sheet pan. Transfer both to the oven. Bake until the walnuts are evenly golden throughout, 12 to 15 minutes. Continue to bake the pie crust until it turns golden and is fully cooked, another 10 to 15 minutes (for a total of about 25 minutes). Finely chop the walnuts to between the size of a steel-cut oat and a pea. Variety in size is nice.
  • While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling: Add the corn syrup, orange zest and juice, molasses, ginger and salt to a small saucepan and warm over low heat just until the syrups liquefy and loosen. (Do not boil.) Add the bread crumbs and toasted walnuts to the warmed mixture, stir and let sit until slightly cooled.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy cream and eggs together with a fork to combine, then fold it into the cooled walnut mixture. Pour into the pie crust and bake on a sheet pan until the center of the pie just sets, about 25 minutes. Serve at room temperature or just above, with plenty of heavy cream for drizzling.

Provided by NcMysteryShopper

Categories     Pie

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15 ounce) box pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
2 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, melted, cooled
3/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F Spray 9-inch glass pie pan with cooking spray. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using sprayed pie pan.
  • In medium bowl, mix walnuts, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Pour and evenly spread 1/4 cup of the cooled melted butter over bottom of pie crust. Spread walnut mixture evenly over butter. Drizzle another 1/4 cup butter over nut mixture.
  • Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut large slits in several places in top crust for steam to escape. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup butter evenly over top crust.
  • Bake at 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown. About 5 minutes before removing pie from oven, in 1-quart saucepan, cook honey and lemon juice over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture has a watery consistency.
  • Remove pie from oven; place on wire rack. Slowly pour hot honey mixture evenly over top of hot pie, making sure it seeps into slits in top crust. Cool at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Just before serving, in small bowl with electric mixer, beat topping ingredients on high speed about 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Spoon topping onto individual servings of pie.

Tips for Making California Walnut Pie:

  • Use fresh walnuts. Fresh walnuts have a more intense flavor and a better texture than walnuts that have been sitting around for a while. If you can, buy walnuts in the shell and crack them yourself just before using them.
  • Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
  • Use a good quality orange marmalade. The orange marmalade is a key ingredient in this pie, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a marmalade that is made with real oranges and has a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the pie tough. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The pie is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

California Walnut Pie with Orange and Cinnamon is a delicious and easy-to-make pie that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of walnuts, orange marmalade, and cinnamon is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. This pie is also a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making it a healthy choice as well.
