- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup frozen vegetable shortening; cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup Very cold butter; cut into small pieces
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Bragg's apple cider vinegar
- 5 tablespoons Ice cold water
- Pie Filling
- 3 Eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cup Dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 3/4 cup Organic pure maple syrup; grade B
- 1.5 cups Chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup butter at room temperature
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Make your crust first.
- Combine flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor with the dough blade and pulse to mix.
- Add cold shortening and butter pieces.
- Pulse about 20 times, or until the flour mixture is cut into the fats.
- Add the egg and vinegar with 5 more pulses.
- Add the ice cold water and pulse until the dough comes together, adding a tablespoon more if necessary but being careful not to overmix.
- Form the dough into two balls and wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Roll one dough ball into a circle for your pie crust. Place the other one in the freezer for next week's pie!. Place it in your pie dish and crimp your edges as you prefer.
- Put the unbaked pie crust in the freezer for 15 minutes while you make your filling.
- Now make the filling. The easiest part of this pie!
- In the bowl of a large mixer, beat the eggs, salt, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla.
- Melt the butter, and beat it into the egg mixture.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour pie filling into the semi-frozen pie shell.
- Bake in the preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
- Turn the oven down to 300 and continue baking for 35-40 minutes until the pie is set.
- Let cool to room temperature on the counter for at least 3 hours. Serve with your best vanilla ice cream!
