Time 21m

Yield 1 crust, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup pastry dough or 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash salt
3/4 cup walnut pieces
6 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You will need one buttered, nine-inch deep-dish pie pan either a light-colored or glass pan.
  • Place the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Place the nuts in a food processor or blender and pulse just long enough to chop the nuts finely, not into a paste. Scrape the nuts into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add the melted butter and combine well.
  • Press the mixture into the buttered pie pan making certain that the crust is of even thickness.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until it just starts to brown on the edges. Do not over bake. A light-colored or glass pan will absorb less heat than a dark one and help ensure against over baking.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before using them in the pie.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the walnuts by hand.
  • If you're using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • To prevent the pie from bubbling over, place a baking sheet underneath the pie plate before baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving, or the filling may be runny.

Walnut pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and crunchy walnut topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just because, you're sure to enjoy this classic dessert.
