Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 2 cups mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

To make the crust, combine the all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl.

Step 2

Cut 0.5 cups of cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 3 tablespoons of ice water, mixing gently until the dough begins to come together. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess, and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 7

In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

Step 8

Stir in the light corn syrup, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, melted unsalted butter, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt until well combined.

Step 9

Add the mixed nuts to the egg mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.

Step 10

Pour the nut filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pie is golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure it sets properly.
