Maple Bacon Chocolate Smackdown
Maple Bacon Chocolate Smackdown: WWF of pies. All those ingredients & walnuts baked in a crispy crust in an ooey gooey butter batter.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup all-purpose (or gluten free flour)
- 1/2 cup pure cane granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pure cane brown sugar
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 6 to 8 ounces bacon, cooked & crumbled
- 2 teaspoons Mapleine extract
- 1 cup melted butter (cooled)
- One unbaked 9-inch pie shell (for gluten free instructions see notes below)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F degrees.
- Melt the butter in the microwave, leaving a little un-melted. As it continues to melt the remaining butter it will cool off slightly to be ready for the filling. Set aside on counter.
- In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the eggs for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add in flour and sugars and beat an additional minute.
- Carefully blend in cooled melted butter by hand with a whisk, being careful not to slosh out the butter.
- Stir in chocolate chips, bacon, walnuts, and Mapleline, and pour/spread into pie shell.
- Place a parchment lined baking sheet with rim/sides on the rack below the pie in oven (as butter will sometimes bubble out a bit during baking).
- Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees. No need to check for if it's done, it is.
Notes
Gluten Free Crust Instructions:
Use my gluten free flour mix at a one to one substitution. https://portlandiapielady.com/gluten-free-pie-crust/
Make the pie dough the same as above, but roll it out onto a GF floured parchment or wax paper, invert onto pie plate and peel off paper. If it tears, it will simply push back together.
