Maple Walnut Pie is similar to a classic pecan pie, but using rich walnuts and maple syrup. You’ll love the flavor in this dessert!
To begin, you are going to want an unbaked 9 inch pie crust, that is very cold. Put it in your freezer while you prepare the filling.
Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs.
Add to those, 1 cup real Maple Syrup
…along with 1 Tablespoon dark rum, 1 teaspoon Vanilla, and 2 Tablespoons melted Butter.
Whisk those together.
Now add in 3 Tablespoons Flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
Whisk them all together until smooth.
Set that aside, and chop up some Walnuts. You will want 2 cups of these.
Put the chopped nuts into your pie crust, and then pour your maple mixture over the top of them.
Place this on a baking sheet.
If you have a crust shield, put it on. Or you can use strips of foil to keep the crust from burning. You don’t have to do this, but sometimes the crust gets a little too done, and this keeps that from happening. Take it off about 15 minutes before the pie is done baking.
Bake for 45 minutes and remove from the oven to cool. The pie will puff up while baking, but as it cools, it will settle back down.
Serve the pie room temperature or chilled.
Enjoy!

Sounds really good.
I have been making this type of pie for yrs.I am diabetic and can't use karo syrup because of the sugar in it. This is like my pecan pie only i don't put any booze in it just vanilla and no spice.
Wow, that looks good! I love that you used maple syrup instead of Karo.
