How to Make Walnut Molasses Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (113g) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (118ml) light corn syrup, and 1/2 cup (118ml) molasses. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  5. Pour the filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust. Sprinkle 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts evenly over the filling.
  6. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with your favorite topping!
