Yield: Serves 8

Crust:

• 1-1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons cold butter
• 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening

Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter and shortening with a pastry blender or a fork. Add about 5 tablespoons of cold water until you can form the dough into a ball. Roll it out to fit a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.

Filling:

• 2-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
• 1 cup dark maple syrup
• 5 eggs
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 5 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the walnuts in the unbaked pie shell. In a mixing bowl combine all remaining ingredients and blend with a whisk until smooth. Pour the filling over the walnuts. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until firm.
