I saw this on the New York Times magazine today (10/17). Fannie Lou is the author's great Aunt. Right now the pie is in the oven, I can't wait. It smells great already.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the crust in a pie plate and prick the bottom with a fork.
  • Cover lightly with a sheet of foil, pressing it gently into the crust and making sure the edges are covered.
  • Place weights (metal pie weights or dried beans) on the foil to weigh down the bottom and hold up the sides of the crust.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove foil.
  • Continue baking until the crust is firm and has lost its sheen but is not browned, about 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter, eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add the brown sugar and flour and mix until thoroughly blended.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the crust.
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and place on a rack to cool.
  • Serve warm.
  • (cook time includes blind bake time).

I thought this pie was just okay. The crust was a bit dry and the filling was a bit bland. I wouldn't make it again.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was nice and flaky and the filling was creamy and smooth.

The pie was delicious! The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I loved the combination of chocolate and peanut butter.

This pie was so easy to make and it tasted incredible. I used a store-bought crust to save time, but the filling was so flavorful that it didn't matter. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this pie several times now and it always turns out perfect. The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the crust is buttery and flaky. It's a great dessert for any occasion.
