Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces unsalted butter, frozen (cut into 24 pieces)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water (add as needed)

Filling

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple extract
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces lightly toasted chopped walnuts

Instructions 

  • Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add frozen butter and pulse until coarse.
  • Mix egg yolk, lemon juice, and 3 tbsp ice water; add gradually to form dough. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Roll dough into a 15-inch circle, fit into a 9-inch tart pan, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Bake crust at 425°F (220°C) with pie weights for 20-25 minutes until light golden. Reduce oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Whisk eggs, yolks, extracts, and salt. Cook maple syrup and sugar, then add butter. Combine with egg mixture.
  • Spread walnuts in crust, pour filling, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes until set. Cool before serving.

Notes

Ensure the crust is fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
