Ingredients
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell or a roll-and-bake crust deep dish
- 3 large eggs, bring to room temperature
- ½ cup dark brown sugar (100 grams
- 1 cup light corn syrup (300 grams)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (56 grams)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt, plus an extra pinch if using unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup broken English walnuts or walnut halves (heaping cup)
Instructions
- If using a store-bought roll and bake crust, let it come to room temperature. Roll out and fit into a 9-inch pie dish and keep chilled until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a heavy duty rimmed baking pan in the oven and allow it to heat along with the oven.
- Whisk or beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in dark brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, cinnamon, salt and vanilla in that order, then stir in the nuts.
- Pour mixture into the pie shell.
- Set the pie on the preheated rimmed baking sheet and bake on lowest rack of the oven at 375 degrees F for about 50 minutes. Check after about 30 minutes to make sure the edge isn't brownie too quickly. If so, shield edge with foil. Filling should be just slightly jiggly when the dish is shaken.
- Allow the pie to cool for several hours, then chill to help set the filling. You can bring it back to room temperature before serving.
