MAPLE HAZELNUT PIE image

Being a hazelnut lover, I had to pinch this recipe. It might not be for everyone, but the hazelnuts will give it a very unique flavor--nutty, salty and sweet. Recipe and photo by: www.epicurious.com

I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour and it turned out great! This pie is now my go-to dessert.

The instructions were easy to follow and the pie turned out great! I would recommend using a food processor to chop the hazelnuts.
