November 25, 2020. Day before Thanksgiving. Easy Pecan Walnut Pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Thanksgiving in the United States tomorrow and I decided to get a few things done before the big day. We usually have a big feast at my in-laws but this year, due to the pandemic, we will not be traveling and it’ll just be the 4 of us eating Thanksgiving dinner at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am determined to have a regular Thanksgiving spread, even though we don’t have crowd to feed. The bonus is that I love leftovers from this particular feast. So many dishes can be made from leftover turkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For today, I dry brined our organic turkey and made the pie crusts. I wanted to make at least one pie today. This was originally supposed to be pecan pie but I forgot I used a bunch for earlier recipe to make this cake<\/a> and added a bunch to this bread<\/a>. I had a scant cup left and decided to improvised and used the bag of walnuts I had in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Easy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am extremely pleased with how this turned out. It might not be the prettiest pie, but it certainly is very tasty. In place of the usual corn syrup, I used maple syrup and brown sugar. My pecan pie loving husband gave this a thumbs up, so, it’ll stay in our baking rotation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shout out to MissAllie’s Kitchen for the inspiration recipe. Without further ado, let’s get baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the Easy Pecan Walnut Pie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gather all your ingredients. Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Toast the nuts either on the skillet or toaster oven, until fragrant. Watch closely since the nuts burns easily. When done, set aside to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
