Dolly Parton's Walnut Pie

If you like Dolly, you'll love her walnut pie. The legendary country singer and actress has said this staple has graced her holiday table since high school. (from her cookbook Dolly's Dixie Fixin's)

Ingredients:

• 1 fold-out pie crust (thawed)
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 3/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 1/2 cups of finely chopped walnuts
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp butter melted
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• whipped cream

How to bake:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the crust and line a 9-inch pie plate with it.

Beat eggs in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Gradually add the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt. Continue mixing until combined. Add the melted butter and beat until thoroughly incorporated.

Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell. Add the walnuts, spreading them evenly within the mixture. Bake for 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to 300 degrees and bake 45 minutes more. Place a collar of foil around the edge of the crust after 30 minutes.

Serve with a Dolly-up of whipped cream.
