Maple-Walnut Pie Recipe (MightyNest Review + Giveaway)

Maple-Walnut Pie Recipe {+a giveaway from Mighty Nest!}

By Stacy Karen, Contributing Writer

It’s Spring Giveaway Week! Mighty Nest is a favorite go-to for healthy bakeware, cookware, kids lunch gear, and much, much more for your family and home. Plus, their Mighty Nest for Schools program generously supports the school of your choice when you buy any of their high quality, eco friendly, healthy gear, by donating 15% of your purchase. Enter the Mighty Nest giveaway below to win a Total Pie Kit for yourself plus $100 for your school!

A free afternoon to bake is a wonderful thing. A rare one, yes, but it’s wonderful when it happens.

Do you know what makes it even better?

Good quality kitchen tools!

Bowls, spoons, and measuring cups that feel good in your hands. And not only that, they are safe for you and your family, as well as the environment. Ahh, it’s glorious.

This too-good-to-be-true experience happened to me today. It was delightful.

My baking began with a gorgeous glass mixing bowl, wide enough to hold ingredients without them sloshing over the sides (a 24-cup capacity!). The thick collar rim made it easy to hold and also added a touch of beauty.

Mighty Nest mixing bowl

The rolling pin. Oh, the rolling pin.

Mighty Nest rolling pin

Made from solid maple wood, this French rolling pin is stunning.

The tapered edges made rolling dough a breeze. Do you know, it was actually enjoyable and not merely a chore? (That’s what good kitchen tools can do!)

Ingredients were measured with lovely, stainless steel measuring spoons. These spoons are so comfortable to hold.

Mighty Nest spatula, bamboo mixing spoon, and measuring spoons

Everything was stirred together with a beautiful bamboo spoon and sturdy spatula (which can withstand 480 degree heat!).

The organic cotton tea towel covered everything nicely while I took a break to attend to a brief interruption. I really enjoy the feel of this tea towel and have kept out for drying hands when necessary.

After the dough was rolled, I placed it into a stainless steel pie pan that heats evenly and avoids burning. No non-stick surfaces to worry about. Easy to clean and chemical-free. (I was surprised at home easy the pie was to remove from the pan after cooking, too!)

Pure bliss.

The end result, a delicious Maple-Walnut pie, simple and sweet, yet not over the top (recipe below).

After the pie was served, we covered the remaining slices with this fun alternative to plastic wrap:

Mighty Nest Bee's Wrap

It’s called Bee’s Wrap.

Bee’s Wrap is made from organic cotton, beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin.

It’s perfect for covering bowls of rising dough or storing food. The warmth of your hands allows the wrap to mold to whatever surface you desire. As it cools, the bee’s wrap stiffens, holding its shape and keeping food fresh.

Bee’s Wrap can be used multiple times. So, it saves money too!

This is just a taste of the wonderful items Mighty Nest has to offer.

Why I love Mighty Nest

I own a number of items from Mighty Nest and all are of the highest quality. It gives me great peace and comfort knowing the tools I use on a daily basis are toxin-free and safe for my family.

Not only that, but the kitchen tools work extremely well, and are a pleasure to use. This enables me to enjoy my daily activities more.

All the items are durable and hygienic, and also BPA-free, lead-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free.

Here is the Maple-Walnut Pie recipe, if you’d like to try it:

    I’ve often wondered if I could replace the corn syrup in our traditional southern pecan pie recipe with maple syrup – this sounds so delicious and similar to pecan pie, it makes me sure I could! Definitely entering the contest too – thanks! 🙂

    Sounds awesome! I would pledge to make a pie TOTALLY from scratch. I do make pies on occasion, but usually use frozen pie crusts. I have made my own crust a couple of times. Would love to win the tools! 🙂

    With Pi day coming up next week, I’ve already bern planning on making my hubby a lemon meringue pie as an annual tradition. He loves them! I make a few pies each year, always from scratch. Not hard, but just time-consuming.
