1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 recipe Our Favorite Pie Crust
2 large eggs
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
1 1/2 cups walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured piece of waxed or parchment paper, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully fit into a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan, gently lowering dough into bottom and sides of pan without stretching. Roll rolling pin over edge of tart pan to cut off excess dough (discard excess); set tart shell aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and salt; whisk in maple syrup. Add nuts, and mix filling to combine. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and pour in filling. Bake tart until filling is set and crust is slightly golden, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Remove tart from pan before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your tarts. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: When making the dough, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the dough tough and crumbly.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape better. You can chill the dough for up to 3 days in advance.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: When slicing the tarts, use a sharp knife to get clean, even slices.
  • Serve Warm: Maple walnut tarts are best served warm. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave if necessary.

Conclusion:

Maple walnut tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their buttery crust, sweet maple filling, and crunchy walnuts, these tarts are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give maple walnut tarts a try!
