Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch deep dish frozen pie shell
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups salted, roasted mixed nuts , coarsely chopped
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the pie shell on a baking sheet; set aside.
- Add the sugar, maple syrup, and butter to a small saucepan; bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the cooled syrup mixture, then the nuts.
- Pour the nut filling into the pie shell.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is set, about 1 hour. (If topping or crust begins to brown too quickly, cover with a crust protector.)
- Let cool completely on rack.
- In a small microwavable-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip the tines of a fork in the melted chocolate and drizzle over the pie.
- Let stand for about ten minutes until the chocolate sets, then slice and enjoy!
