Instructions
Make egg, maple syrup base: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix together the beaten eggs, maple syrup, rum (if using), vanilla extract, melted butter.
Sprinkle with flour, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Spread the chopped walnuts over the bottom of a prepared pie shell.
Pour the maple syrup egg mixture over the walnuts.
Place the pie in the preheated oven on the middle rack.
Place a cookie sheet on the rack underneath to catch any drippings from the pie crust.
Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes. After about 20 minutes (about halfway through the baking), you may want to tent the pie crust edges with foil, or use a pie protector, so that the edges don't get burnt.
Don't worry if the surface of the pie "cracks" while cooking. The pie filling will puff up while hot (because of the eggs), and then deflate while it cools.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
Recommended wine: Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, Vin Santo
Pie works really well with Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, and Vin Santo. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. One wine you could try is Chateau Chantal Late Harvest Riesling. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 21 dollars.
