Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15 ounce) box pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
2 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, melted, cooled
3/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F Spray 9-inch glass pie pan with cooking spray. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie using sprayed pie pan.
  • In medium bowl, mix walnuts, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Pour and evenly spread 1/4 cup of the cooled melted butter over bottom of pie crust. Spread walnut mixture evenly over butter. Drizzle another 1/4 cup butter over nut mixture.
  • Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut large slits in several places in top crust for steam to escape. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup butter evenly over top crust.
  • Bake at 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown. About 5 minutes before removing pie from oven, in 1-quart saucepan, cook honey and lemon juice over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture has a watery consistency.
  • Remove pie from oven; place on wire rack. Slowly pour hot honey mixture evenly over top of hot pie, making sure it seeps into slits in top crust. Cool at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Just before serving, in small bowl with electric mixer, beat topping ingredients on high speed about 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Spoon topping onto individual servings of pie.

This pie was a bit too bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the filling.

The phyllo dough was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend using a thinner dough.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey in the filling.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of walnuts. But I'm so glad I did! The walnuts in this pie are perfectly roasted and they add a lovely crunch. The honey syrup is also the perfect finishing touch.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pie turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more honey to the filling. Otherwise, it was perfect!

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The walnuts add a lovely crunch and the honey syrup is the perfect finishing touch. I usually serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
