Ingredients
- 9 inch frozen pie crust ((or refrigerated pie crust, or make your own))
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Place the 9 inch frozen pie crust on a baking sheet while preparing the filling. I like to put the crust on a baking sheet to make it easier to remove it from the oven after it is baked.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, beaten, ½ cup granulated sugar, 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted, 1 cup dark corn syrup, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- Place the 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts into the bottom of the pie crust.
- Then pour the filling on top of the walnuts.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes. Around the 20-minute mark, you may want to add some aluminum foil around the edges of your pie crust to keep it from getting too brown.
- Oven times do vary, but basically, the middle of the pie should be just a tad jiggly when done (not overly jiggly), and the center will puff up a bit.
- Allow to cool, then slice and serve!
