MAPLE-WALNUT TOPPING



Maple-Walnut Topping image

This sweet-and-crunchy sauce is great on top of waffles or our Maple-Walnut Puddings.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/2 cup broken walnut pieces
1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1/2 cup broken walnut pieces on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Mix in a small bowl with 1/4 cup pure maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh maple syrup. Fresh maple syrup has a more robust flavor than store-bought syrup. If you don't have fresh maple syrup, you can substitute it with honey or brown sugar.
  • Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the topping. The topping should be cooked until it is slightly thickened and bubbly. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and gooey.
  • Serve the topping warm. The topping is best served warm, but you can also store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Maple walnut topping is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it sweet, nutty, or crunchy, there is a maple walnut topping recipe out there for you.
