Maple Walnut Pecan Pie

I thought you might like a pie. I actually made this for the pie party, and then again for something else, I think, or maybe I just made a mental note to. Walnuts make delicious pies – why should pecans get all the attention? And besides, maple and walnuts are a perfect ice cream pairing. With a filling you stir together in approximately two minutes, nut pies are as easy to make as pies get, and strangely satisfying to make in the fall. Like I’m channeling my inner squirrel.


If you’re a hard-core nuts and caramel fanatic you could make this a double whammy and top a slice with a scoop of maple walnut or butter pecan ice cream.

    mmmm…as long as your inner squirrel isn’t Scaredy Squirrel you’ll be ok. I’m with Kathy though, there’s only one of me, and i’d probably make this pie into tarts! mmmmmm

    If I saw that in the pastry case of a good coffee place I think I’d die. Can’t believe how great that pastry looks! The filling looks fantastic too of course.

    The other comments just gave me a great idea for holiday baking! Maple walnut tarts! The men in my family would love them. Of course they also love raisin butter tarts but there are always room for more tarts on the table!

    FYI for anyone else who wants to make it as tarts, this recipe made approximately 25 tarts..although the last few were little shy on nuts!

    Excellent Delicious Unusual Wonderful Dilightful nutty pie. I like the corn syrup combined with the maple brown sugar. In past times I didn’t add the corn syrup but now I will. I also chop both toasted pecans and walnuts mix them in the pie mixture as the pie cooks they rise to the top. Thank you. And I will include the butter pecan ice cream next time.
