Dolly Parton Pie

Ingredients

1 (9-inch) fold-out pie crust, thawed
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
4 tablespoons butter, melted
whipped cream, optional, to taste, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a 9-inch pie pan with the unrolled crust, cutting off any overhang.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer.

Add the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt gradually to the beaten eggs, mixing to combine.

Add the melted butter and mix until thoroughly combined.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell.

Add the walnuts, spreading them evenly throughout the mixture.

Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven heat to 300 degrees F.

Bake for 45 minutes, adding a collar of foil around the crust after 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Serve with whipped cream.
