Ingredients: For the Tart Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon ice water

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish.

  2. To make the tart crust, in a food processor, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Add the egg yolk and ice water to the mixture and pulse again until the dough comes together.

  4. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  5. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  6. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the warm butter-sugar mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling the eggs.

  7. Stir in the chopped pecans and walnuts until evenly distributed.

  8. Pour the filling over the baked tart crust, spreading it out evenly.

  9. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.

  10. Allow the Maple Syrup Pecan Walnut Butter Tart Squares to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares.

  11. Serve and enjoy these irresistible treats with a cup of coffee or tea!
