Walnut Pie
"I have had this recipe for many many years. I believe it originally came from a Karo syrup bottle. I make this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Pecan pie and walnut pie are my favorite pies. The walnut pie has a toasted nut flavor."

Hello, walnut-pie bakers! I have a question. I'm using Puff Pastry for the pie crust. Are you sure I shouldn't pre-bake it before filling? Or should I just make sure to poke it so it doesn't rise too much and go for it?

This pie is FANTASTIC!!!!!! I was very surprised at the taste. By chance, I have a walnut tree in my backyard (don't have to buy them) lol. I can't keep my mother in law away from it. I did a few things different, I mixed all the wet together then combined them with the dry. I also put the walnuts in the mixture and poured it in a pie shell. The walnuts come to the top and it gives them a good coating while baking. -
My husband loves pecan and Walnut pies, so I decided to make a walnut pie for thanksgiving since walnuts were on sale. I ran out of corn syrup and used about 1/4 cup raw blue agave and the pie came out wonderful. My husband is very happy. Thanks

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6
grand and glorious grandchildren.
I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
