WALNUT PIE WITH MOLASSES AND ORANGE
This pie is fudgy, nutty, salty-sweet and spiked with citrus. It's a meeting of sorts, between arguably Britain and America's greatest desserts: the treacle tart and pecan pie. Cut corners by grating the crust instead of rolling it out, but don't skip making your own bread crumbs and roasted walnuts; the texture and flavor rely on the freshness of both. Once you've prebaked the crust to biscuit brown, err on the side of undercooking the molasses-custard filling: It'll firm up when cooled and stay gooey for days.

Steps:
- Prepare the Shortcut Pie Crust through Step 3.
- Once the dough has chilled, working over a 9-inch pie dish, prepare the crust through Step 4, then chill, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. (This can be done ahead.)
- When you're ready to bake the pie, heat the oven to 350 degrees and arrange two racks near the center of the oven. Place the chilled pie crust on a sheet pan, and the walnuts on a separate sheet pan. Transfer both to the oven. Bake until the walnuts are evenly golden throughout, 12 to 15 minutes. Continue to bake the pie crust until it turns golden and is fully cooked, another 10 to 15 minutes (for a total of about 25 minutes). Finely chop the walnuts to between the size of a steel-cut oat and a pea. Variety in size is nice.
- While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling: Add the corn syrup, orange zest and juice, molasses, ginger and salt to a small saucepan and warm over low heat just until the syrups liquefy and loosen. (Do not boil.) Add the bread crumbs and toasted walnuts to the warmed mixture, stir and let sit until slightly cooled.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy cream and eggs together with a fork to combine, then fold it into the cooled walnut mixture. Pour into the pie crust and bake on a sheet pan until the center of the pie just sets, about 25 minutes. Serve at room temperature or just above, with plenty of heavy cream for drizzling.
WALNUT MOLASSES PIE
This pie is a family favorite I frequently prepare for Sunday dinner at my mother's. Somewhat like pecan pie, this treat is scrumptious and nutty with a sweet molasses flavor.-Betty Jones, Collinston, Louisiana

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality walnuts for the best flavor.
- Toast the walnuts in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown.
- Finely chop the walnuts before adding them to the pie filling.
- Use a good quality molasses for the best flavor. Dark molasses will give the pie a richer, more intense flavor than light molasses.
- Be sure to simmer the molasses mixture until it has thickened slightly. This will help to prevent the pie filling from being too runny.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
Walnut Molasses Pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This pie has a rich, sweet filling and a flaky, buttery crust. It is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a fan of walnuts, molasses, or just good old-fashioned pie, this recipe is sure to please.
