Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
Filling:
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (about 3 ounces)
3/4 cup walnut halves (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and process using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg and milk in small bowl to blend, then add to processor. Blend until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball and flatten into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour. (Dough can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly before rolling out.)
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, bourbon, flour, vanilla and salt in large bowl to blend. Mix in all walnuts.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edge under; crimp decoratively. Pour filling into prepared crust. Bake until crust is golden and filling is set in center when pie is shaken slightly, about 55 minutes. Cool pie completely in pan on rack.

This pie was just okay. I think I'll stick to my usual pecan pie recipe.

The crust on this pie was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I wasn't a fan of the bourbon flavor in this pie. I think it would be better without it.

This pie is a bit pricey to make, but it's worth it for a special occasion. The filling is rich and decadent, and the crust is perfectly flaky.

I made this pie for my husband's birthday and he loved it. He said it was the best walnut pie he's ever had.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a winner. It's the perfect balance of sweet and nutty, and the crust is always flaky and delicious.

I wasn't sure how the bourbon would taste in this pie, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a subtle warmth and richness that really complemented the walnuts.

I'm not usually a fan of walnut pie, but this one changed my mind. The bourbon added a nice depth of flavor and the crust was delicious.

This pie was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner. The filling was creamy and nutty, and the crust was perfectly flaky. I will definitely be making this again!
