BLACK WALNUT PIE RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Black Walnut Pie Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by cecelia26_

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9") pie crust
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 T. lemon juice
1 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups black walnuts
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degree. Check the pie crust to be sure the edges are at least 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch above the rim of the pan to prevent the pie filling from bubbling over the edge. Gently combine all ingredients, in order listed. Stir enough to begin dissolving the sugar, but not enough to incorporate air into the filling. Do not beat, or the pie will have air bubbles on the top, instead of black walnuts, spoiling the glossy look of the glazed nuts. Pour into the unbaked pie crust. Bake on a cookie sheet one hour, or until the center of the pie is no longer loose and the black walnuts are browned. Serve either hot or cold, but for the best appearance, allow the pie to reach room temperature before cutting. Whipped cream or ice cream is a wonderful addition. For a gourmet treat, serve this pie hot.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh black walnuts. If fresh walnuts are not available, you can use frozen or dried walnuts, but the flavor will not be as intense.
  • Toast the walnuts before adding them to the pie filling. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a combination of light and dark brown sugar in the pie filling. This will give the pie a rich and complex flavor.
  • Do not overcook the pie. The filling should be set, but still slightly gooey in the center.
  • Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Black walnut pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, nutty flavor and creamy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give black walnut pie a try.
