Ingredients:

1/2 cup pecans
60g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g
1/2 cup macadamia
72g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tbsp corn flour
16g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 yolk
16g
1 cup maple syrup
230g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2 tbsp powdered sugar
30g
1 tbsp water
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.
2. Cut the softened butter into small pieces and mix it into the flour mixture until it becomes coarse and crumbly.
3. Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough begins to come together. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Prepare the Nut Filling:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, walnuts, and macadamia nuts.
2. Sprinkle the brown sugar and corn flour over the nut mixture and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
4. Make the Syrup Mixture:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and light sour cream. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Assemble the Pies:
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
2. Cut out circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass, large enough to line the cups of a standard muffin tin.
3. Press the dough circles into the muffin tin cups, making sure to cover the sides.
4. Divide the nut mixture evenly among the prepared crusts.
5. Pour the maple syrup and sour cream mixture over the nuts in each crust, filling about 3/4 full.
6. Bake the Pies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crusts are a light golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pies to cool completely in the muffin tin before removing them.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Enjoy your Maple Nut Pies!

Tips:

- Toast the nuts before using them to enhance their natural flavors. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, or until they are fragrant.

- Ensure that the butter is cold when incorporating it into the flour mixture for a flakier crust.

- For a smoother filling, make sure to whisk the maple syrup mixture thoroughly to match the consistency of the sour cream and yolk.

- Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.

Maple nut pies are a delectable treat that brings together the sweetness of maple syrup and the nutty goodness of pecans, walnuts, and macadamias. Following these tips and steps, you can make a delicious pie that's sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent dessert experience.
