Maple bacon walnut pie is just what your holiday dessert table needs. The savory bacon bits are the perfect counterpart to the sweet, maple syrup-covered walnuts.
Preheat oven to 400° F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In large bowl, beat eggs until slightly foamy. Whisk in browned butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and maple syrup until combined. Stir in flour, milk, and vanilla. Add walnuts and bacon and stir until fully coated.
Pour filling into pie crust. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325° F and bake until filling no longer jiggles in the center, 40 to 50 minutes more. Cool completely (ideally overnight in the fridge) before slicing and serving.
Notes
Making this maple bacon walnut pie ahead of time? Let the pie cool completely, then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator, or reheat for 20 to 30 minutes in a 200° F oven, or until warmed through (perfectly safe to do with the OXO glass pie plate).
