The Scoop
This pie knows exactly what it came here to do: be sweet, nutty, buttery, and impossible to resist!
A flaky crust holds a gooey filling made with brown-sugar-like sweetness from corn syrup, vanilla, butter, and plenty of finely chopped walnuts.
It’s classic, cozy, and practically begging for a cloud of whipped cream on top!
Ingredients
- 1/2 (14.1-ounce, 2-count) box refrigerated rolled pie crust, remaining crust reserved for a separate use
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, finely chopped

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a 9-inch pie pan with the unrolled pie crust, cutting off any overhang.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer.
- Add the sugar, the corn syrup, the vanilla, and the salt gradually to the eggs, beating to combine.
