Ingredients

  • 1 x pie shell
  • 113 g butter (1/4 cup)
  • 215 g brown sugar (1/2 cup)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 155 g maple syrup (1/2 cup)
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten, room temp
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 200 g premium mixed nuts, toasted

Optional add ins (choose one):

  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp orange zest

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 335F. Toast your nut mixture.
  • In a pot over medium heat, heat butter, sugar, salt and maple syrup until it’s a rolling boil (approx. 3 minutes after the butter melts and sugar dissolves). Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Prepare your eggs. Add the warm sugar mixture to your eggs (a tablespoon at a time), whisking diligently until it reaches room temperature. Then, slowly, while whisking, pour in remaining warm sugar mixture. Add vanilla.
  • Pour nuts into the prepared, still frozen, pie shell. Pour your warm sugar mix over top.
  • Bake at 335F for approx. 50 minutes. It will still be shaky in the middle when you take it out.
