Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Walnuts, chopped and toasted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan if it's not already prepared. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Stir in the brown sugar and honey until the mixture is smooth and fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract into the cooled mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and salt together until combined.

Step 6

Slowly pour the warm honey mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Stir until smooth.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped and toasted walnuts to evenly distribute them throughout the filling.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed up in the center.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This will help the filling set further.

Step 11

Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
