  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 batch pie crust or store-bought pie shell
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare your crust by rolling out chilled dough until it's slightly larger than your pie dish, then transfer it carefully to avoid tearing.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and pre-bake the crust for about 20 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. In a bowl, mix together brown sugar and flour before gradually adding melted butter until smooth.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time until well blended, ensuring the mixture is thick and shiny with no lumps.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract and salt, then gently fold in chopped nuts and chocolate chips for even distribution.
  6. Pour the filling into your pre-baked crust and bake for another 35–45 minutes until edges are set but the center still wobbles slightly.
