Bourbon Chocolate Walnut Pie Delight

Ingredients

- 1 pre-made pie dough
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the oven rack in the center to ensure even cooking.

2. Prepare the Pie Crust:
Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Drape the dough over the pan, pressing it gently to the edges, and trim any excess. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

3. Assemble the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, melted butter, and light corn syrup until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition for a smooth consistency.

4. Flavor the Mixture:
Incorporate the vanilla extract, kosher salt, bourbon, and all-purpose flour into the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.

5. Mix in the Key Components:
Stir in the chopped walnuts and semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.

6. Fill the Pie Shell:
Pour the walnut-chocolate mixture into the prepared pie shell. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.

7. Oven Roast the Pie:
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.

8. Cool and Finish with a Touch:
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Before serving, sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt for contrast in flavor and visual appeal.
